HowLongIsTheNight? Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Anyone here on the boards like Sunny Day Real Estate (SDRE)? Just wondering as, far as I'm concerned they are one of the finest bands to ever grace the "Emo scene". Anyone that hasn't checked them out yet would do well to pickup Diary followed by their Live album. The reason I like SDRE so much is that over the course of their albums, they never followed a formulaic emo pattern, as they went on they went kinda alt-rock along the way, and Jeremy Enigk has an amazing voice. Best band out of Seatle if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Arguably the first ever commercial "Emo" band...1994 the year that "emo" broke... ahem..... also the year that it would have been called rock or American Indie.....

New Disorder Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Great band. I really like The Rising Tide although nothing touches Diary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Sunny Day Real Estate are fecking awesome, i've finally started to pick up their back catalogue due to having money and started (where else?) with 'Diary'.....one of those albums that never seems to get old no matter how many times you listen to it. 'In circles' is my favourite song on that LP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 brilliant band, but some of their lyrics wander dangerously to the cheese. nice melodies, but not that intelligent for lyrics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 I've just started listening to them and really like them. I only have Diary though. Whats their other stuff like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowLongIsTheNight? Posted September 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 LP2 (The Pink album), was the next release after Diary, a mini album it was similar musically but Jeremy Enigk's vocals are more surreal. Kinda hard to describe its beautiful, but very difficult to distinguish what he's actually singing. How It Feels To Be Something On was the next album, emo mingled with alt rock a good folow up to Diary as far as I'm concerned, as what is the point in releasing similary styled albums? The next release was a live album which had tracks from the previous release, a very good album as it completly captures the live SDRE experience (damn I wish I'd seen them live ). The final SDRE album is The Rising Tide, probably my least fave release (but then again I haven't given it too many listens yet), it follows the same path as How It Feels, but the lyrics are more simpler in some ways (not in a bad way though). The Fire Theft, think SDRE meets U2 if you want a simple introduction. Their album is highly acomplished musically, there's a beutiful feel good factor to the whole album. And its one album you can truly appreciate playing back to back. Well there's my tupence worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 I'll try and check some of those out! Are their albums hard to find? One up is the only place I've seen selling their albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowLongIsTheNight? Posted September 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 You'll be able to get all of the albums from One-Up, though I'm not to sure about The Rising Tide. I got my copy from amazon, I think at the time I tried to order it from One-Up it was deleted (acording to them). I'd highly advise getting LP2 first, the first time I heard it was when I bought it for a friends birthday, he didn't get the cd until a month after his birthday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
