New fans who are turned off by the way the songs sound on the CD and on the Radio will never get to that point, because they will not go to the concerts to see how much better the songs are live. AS to if Sunny Day is or isn't trying to bring in new fans - c'mon, guy. Of course they are. They're on a label which while nomianlly indie is half-owned by a record conglomerate (not sure which one?) to provide the distribution for the album. Have you ever seen a Sunny Day album pushed as much as TRT was? Advertising has only one point -draw in new customers. I'm not disputing the fact that SDRE wrote TRT for themselve s (and are probably rightly justified in thier liking of TRT), but to deny that they want to improve sales is ridiculous. Would you be happy if you never improved at your job during your lifetime? Incidentally, what's with all these comments like "Either listen to the music and love it or shut the hell up"? That's not an either/or question. It's tantamount to "Love the music, Worship the Leader, Believe what I Believe, or I will not listen to you". What is this, the SDRE-Cult-List? Admiration of a band doesn't preclude criticism (constructive, of course). As well, admiration of a band doesn't preclude LISTENING to criticism of said band either - we aren't the Sunny Day Zealots, last I checked... > I does matter how Sunny Day is live.
