asp's classic albums # 59: sunny day real estate - lp2
 

SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE "LP2" / self-titled / "the pink album"
1995, Sub Pop

I just love this record with all my heart. I know it probably doesn't sound like a total mindblower or something completely different from the norm, which are the types of albums I usually try to post. It's just a really fucking great record. As much as I love "Diary" (which was pretty much the soundtrack to my middle school years), this one's darker, desolate, more unfocused, rambling, mumbling, lost... but in a good way. I dunno. An "Emo" (second-wave) masterpiece.

i prefer "diary", but this is a good one also. brings back the memories.....

fuck diaries... the pink album is where it's at. Good call, Adam. Good call.

anyone like mineral?

I prefer Diary also but this rules!

never heard any SDRE

what are they like? melodic?

Emo, man! Pure fucking EMO!

yes, emo. But before "Screaming Inidelities" came along and mucked the whole genre up.

the music kicks ass but i can't stand the voice. It's painful.

thx but is this OOP?:confused:

yeah i see you point. the voice is pretty terrible. plus, they were basically a sdre ripoff band. i really like the band and sdre when i was sixteen though.

It's not.

@greedrex

that's what i thought. huh.

ahh! i've been looking for an album by them for a while but never bothered to download any or anything.

thanks for the link and the review

i was thinking about doing my second uhler's favorite albums with "four minute mile" by the get up kids, but i don't think i will.

this is a really good album dude. i predict many relistens :)

Glad you enjoy!

I need to check this out, I have the first one around somewhere, was never super into it but it's been YEARS since I gave it a try. If I like this at all I'll dig it out.

Bump. I have listened to this album so many times and I keep going back to it. It has a weird effect like that, because on paper, Diary should be better.
