this email was bad enough to bring me out of hiding and post to the list.... here we go: <<the sound that IS sunny day is gone. SDRE never had a "sound", think about it. they have always been ever-changing. <<sunny day IS not ALL jeremy. which is what the new album is. i mean, for god's sakes, a lot of the time dan is just playing the melody behind jeremy as he sings it. >> i donno about the new album, but if you watch the "Live" video, you will see that alot of times (take the verse of "Pillars" for example), it is JEREMY who is playing the melody along with his voice. now, i havent seen them play the new shit, so i dont know who is playing what... but you do somehow <<but sunny day's sound IS one of unproduction; it loses all its glory when produced, as the new album proves. sure each successive album was more and more produced, but it never got out of hand until the rising tide. they've just taken it too far.>> ok well, actually, as far as a "sound unproduction" -- do your homework: diary and LP2 were heavily produced... How It Feels was actually the least produced of them all, and that was done on purpose. they felt Brad Wood had over-produced them... eash album was not succesive in sound. << i must say, i probably would not buy this album if it wasn't them. but i will. and i will go see them live. and i DO hope they play mostly old stuff. >> well man, it sucks to be you then...... --chris
