i've been folling SDRE since the beginning. to be honest i was very worried about the possible over-productino of the new album (or which i have yet to purchase). but my girlfriend has the album and i've heard it a bit and took some peaks on Napster. i flew down this last weekend to see them at Slims and it was the best show i've ever seen from them. i've always been deeply effected by Mr. Enigk live ... what a passionate person. but to be honest, i think the new album is wonderful. in some cases, it's a shame that the fans hold the band from developing ... i don't even want to count the times i've heard "play seven!" at a show ... myself as a musician, writing is a constantly changing happening. SDRE was who they were during LP2 and Diary and even looking back at the unreleased recordings. but they've matured and are continuing to do so. sure there is heavey production in RT, but can we all say there was no production in Lp2, HIFTBSO or Diary? of course there was ... Sup Pop is sup pop. i'm just glad to hear that they are experimenting with new sounds and being very successful. i was in tears half of the show, rivers flowed during "The Tearing of My Heart". i'm not talking tears of excitment, but of pure joy and somber pangs -- the music touches me in a way i can not explain ... and i feel blessed that SDRE shares it all and that Mr. Enigk conveys such passion and Mr. Hoener such joy when they play. i would pay 100 bux to see that same show again without any doubt. i even lifted my hand up ... it was almost worshipful the way that they played and knowing Mr. Enigk's faith backround. i think it's great that he stays true the Lord and reaches many people in such a moving form. just a note from an emo blessings, adam jenkins ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
