Negative Positive
Title: could be a grower
Review: very good album, especially the first songs like "killed by an angel" and "one". the band continues to wear its post-punk influences on its sleeve while incorportating lush guitars, strings, and so forth. as a result, the album at times feels overproduced and the lyrics are more coherent than any other sunny day album before it. "television" is the only song that feels completely uninspired, like a third eye blind parody. topics range from loneliness to breaking away to girl. i think i'm being more critical of the album because i thought that diary and how it feels to be something on were some of the more brilliant rock records of the past decade. newcomers to sunny day would love it, but hardcore fans may take a little longer to enjoy it. it's better to listen to it in the rain, as i did driving last night. i think it's a well done album and i recommend buying it. but diary and how it feels are their masterpieces.
