Free Music Review: If You Say Emo One More Time, You Perish
Hit: 5 Stars

I absolutely DESPISE the term "emo". The term used to actually reference something that had meaning until leeches like Carson Daly and the mainstream blunders at Rolling Stone and Spin opted to tack the descriptor onto corporate hack bands like Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional and so on. Unlike the innovators that were labeled as such by admirers that couldn't quite place their finger on the music style that they heard from early "emo" bands like Still Life, this new breed of mallrat rock band were actualy calling themselves "emo" to describe the underdeveloped and overall weak sound to go along with their forced, contrived lyrics that would make them appear all but happy. The one thing that some of the more intelligent bands did get somewhat right was the inspiration; the always astounding Sunny Day Real Estate.

Sunny Day Real Estate never had to categorize themselves as "emo", nor do I think they ever acknowledged the terminology. They simply put forth melodic rock music that could send ice cold chills down your unsuspecting spine. Each album was a step further towards greatness from the last and though they released one more studio recording to follow this one, "How It Feels..." was less a comeback album and more a work of utter genius.

Carefully constructed and written like a historic novel, Sunny Day Real Estate really touched a nerve when released this album. "Diary" seemed to showcase their emotional bent while "The Pink Album" proved their ability to rock. "How It Feels..." was the culmination of both aspects combined into one great triumphant release. Each song flowed smoothly into the next. The rhythmns are easy to digest and rewarding to comprehend. From their mellowest calm to their most aggressive, Sunny Day Real Estate makes you feel something that most bands don't know even exists.

Dashboard Confessional. Jimmy Eat World. "Insert Generic Melodic Rock Band" here. These bands will NEVER be what Sunny Day Real Estate was then or still remains to be today. If you are content throwing your money at bands that don't come close despite mainstream culture stating otherwise, that is your choice. But, I would be willing to bet that upon hearing greatness that can only be named Sunny Day Real Estate, the aforementioned bands will soon be collecting dust at the bottom of your CD rack.
