 Whether it's lifelong softies like Jimmy Eat World, strident scream machines such as Thursday, or over-their-heads windbags in the vein of Angels & Airwaves, critspeak about bands with roots in emo usually dictates the following career path: Hang with Fat Mike all you want, call us when you're ready to sound like U2. It's an easy narrative to set up, maybe because it requires fewer keystrokes than the more correct comparison: Sunny Day Real Estate.
It's got nothing to do with churches of reverb or Christianity, though those would come later for SDRE. Taking the longview, SDRE seem even less of their time than they were in the mid-90s, positioned between the more stone-faced acolytes of Fugazi and the branches of Jade Tree that went mathletic or simply stuffed as many proper nouns as possible into radio-intended pop-punk (see: songs called "Anne Arbour"). SDRE saw beyond the constraints of "scene" and envisioned a point where the meek would inherit the arena--- independently minded, sensitive boys doling out anthems of introspection to thousands of fist-raising, navel-gaving kids.

| After the minor success of Sunny Day Real Estate’s Diary, the band was poised to take off, only to hit the dreaded sophomore slump harder than most. While recording their follow up, LP2 (or The Pink Album), the band imploded, with the rumors stating that the issues began with singer/guitarist Jeremy Enigk’s conversion to Christianity, a move that caused considerable tension as Enigk wished to focus more on his newfound religion. In the meantime, Dave Grohl recruited the band’s rhythm section (Bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith) to join his band, the Foo Fighters, who were in the midst of touring for their eponymous debut and beginning the recording process on what would be their second album, The Colour and the Shape. Thus, when LP2 was finally released, the band had been broken up for several months, which may explain the album’s half-finished feel. Ironically, the album would also be something of their biggest hit, having minor radio success with “Rodeo Jones,” while the song “8” made it onto the highly successful Batman Forever soundtrack, giving the band a wider audience than ever before....full text |

| This is the 2009 reissue of Sunny Day Real Estate’s 1995 sophomore album, commonly, and largely unofficially, referred to as either LP2 or The Pink Album. We’ve been going with LP2 for a while now and plan to stick with it. This 2009 edition has been re-mastered and includes the bonus tracks “Spade and Parade” and “Bucket of Chicken,” as well as newly written liner notes....full text |
