Re: [sdre-l]: what would you recomend...
it almost feels silly to me saying which SDRE album "most touched me". i think that SDRE in HIFTBSO isn't the same SDRE that made the previous LP2 and Diary. The absence of Mendel has made a HUGE sound change in the band... i mean could think new guy come up with the bass line to Grendel that later helped to form Theo-B??? nope, cuz his sound is so different. granted SOPF on HIFTBSO is pretty darn tight, it's not the same SDRE at all. but in any album, Mr. Enigk's lyrics touch my heart. so, it's all good. even more so on ROTFQ god bless, adam __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
RE: [sdre-l]: what would you recomend...
I believe you recomend albums to people dependent on what they like. For example, if someone likes metal, tell them to listen to Diary first. If someone prefers pop, suggest HIFTBSO. I believe the best album for a punk kid would be LP2. For someone who enjoys classical music, let them listen to Jeremy's stuff first. Do ya see what I mean?

Re: [sdre-l]: what would you recomend...
I would definately recommend diary first, because it was their first...In my experience, the people that hear HIFTBSO first, seem to not end up liking sdre as much they should be liked. you know? Hearing the albums in the order in which they came out ... seems like a good idea because you can see how they have matured throughout the years. Like reading a book of their lives... (instead... listening to their lives). You do it in chronological order You don't pick up a book and read it from the last past page to the foreward. it wouldn't make sence. Same with their albums. It's a story of their lives... what goes on, growing up and realizing new things... don't you agree? ** HIFTBSO was the first Sunny Day album I was exposed to and I consider Sunny Day one of the greatest bands to ever touch my life. I am a fairly new Sunny Day fan (obviously). If Dairy had been the first album from SDRE I had heard, I don't think I would have been as impressed with them. I know this may sound sacreligious to many of you, but I am drawn to HITFTBSO far more than the other two albums. I love all three, but HITFTBSO has something more that the others don't...something that really moves my soul and touches my emotions. I was so surprised when I joined this mailing list and read the comments about HITFTBSO. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like many of you don't hold it in very high regard, especially in comparison to Diary. Don't worry guys! Admitting you like the later album as much or more than the earlier ones doesn't make you any less a fan ;) I suppose many of you were drawn to SDRE because of Diary and HITFTBSO just isn't the same. It is my humble opinion, however, that HITFTBSO is SDRE's best album and I look forward to seeing (or hearing :) how they grow in the future.

Re: [sdre-l]: what would you recomend...
Actually, I heard Diary first, and I was completely blown away, so I would definitely recommend that first... (especially since I'm a drummer and this is my favorite to date as far as Will's stuff goes)... but second, I heard HIFTBSO, because they didn't have lp2 at the store I went to at the time. I was blown away by that one too, but to me, I've always thought that after hearing the first, then third, then second in that order, it seems to me that somehow, lp2 is a perfect mix/transition from Diary to HIFTBSO. The drums are still pretty hectic, but as was mentioned, the vocals lean more towards HIFTBSO... and there is less of Dan's singing it seems on lp2 than on Diary, but more than on HIFTBSO It almost seems as though the band knew that they were going to make their third album in a different way than their first, but they helped lead the fans from one to the other with lp2. I guess that's a weird opinion, but I have some friends who agree. Any thoughts? Dan W. On the live album, my favorite is track six, "Song About an Angel", but it's always been my favorite anyway. It's an excellent song to sing along with or drum along to. Kudos to William Goldsmith, my favorite drummer, and to everyone else in the band, which I guess can include "Joe Bass" on the live album/video too. And if that guy didn't think that SDRE was good live, then he must have been under some sort of an influence, and he probably hasn't seen the video yet...

Just curious... When you are talking to a person who has never heard of sdre but wants to, what album do you usually tell them to get first?I usually say DIARY but I wanted to here others oppinions.

"Just curious...

I say Diary..for Sunny Day I say it's best to go in order (Diary. LP2. How it feels..Live) "greg making effects pedals for guitars and offering/advertising that service on the list a few weeks back" --- can he make anything besides distortion pedals? "promise ring" --- I just don't get this band..I'm a fan but I find them to be a tad bit overrated.
