Personally, this issue is of some interest to me for this reason: I really
think the new album is not very good. Of course I am one of those people
who think lp2 was their masterpiece to date, with rotfq probably in second.
Anyhow, one of the biggest weaknesses to The Rising Tide (and I think there
are a few) is the lyrics. I don't connect with them at all, and I find most
of them to be sort of trite. Never in a million years did I think that of
all things it would be the lyrics that would turn me off to a Sunny Day
album. So I find myself wondering, "What gives?" What has changed? Is it
me? I really don't think so. I feel like these lyrics are different than
any other album, and no sir, I don't like 'em. I resepect the fact that
they decided to "evolve", I just don't like where it's going.
Ok and since most Sunny Day fans seem to dig Radiohead as well, let me say
that I have been listening to Kid A for a few weeks now (thank you Napster!)
and I am blown away. Now this is a band that I think is going in the right
direction. Ok, better go buy the real copy now...
-e-
p.s. honestly i'm not looking to get flamed, but i fear it is inevitable.
and if anyone finds out the skinny on where jeremy is at spiritually, maybe
you can send me an e-mail directly so as not to disturb the list!
