Tell Me If It's Chilly Outside

So I’ve begun my journey with Sunny Day Real Estate. I’m working through their albums in chronological order. Their first album is titled Diary and I’ve just finished listening to it for the first time.

My first impression is that I like it. A lot. And I’m excited to move on to their next disc but am trying to not get my hopes too high. Diary sounds like so many other first albums. Obviously not a lot of money so the production quality is low and will only, presumable, get better as the albums continue. But it is still an album that I think I’ll be able to ignore the production because it is very strong in other areas. Many other bands that I typically listen to have that same problem but there are only a select few that I will still put in that first album and just forget about the production.

Production goes a long way in my eyes. So for me to be able to still listen to an album, that means a lot but only time will tell at this point. I’ve only listened to it once and am still going to have to compare Diary to their other albums.

I enjoy watching a band evolve throughout their records.
