4.0 out of 5 stars A minor genre classic, October 30, 2004

I picked up on Sunday's Best when I was about 21, a little more than a year before this LP came out. As of late 2004, five years later, I doubt the band has done anything in over two years. The production and hooks on this LP are tight, and the vocals are awesome - a cross between Thom Yorke and Jim Adkins (of J.E.W.) if you can picture that. One word of advice: don't open your debut album with a song that most people will take for "Don't Stand So Close To Me," by The Police.

4.0 out of 5 stars almost there, June 2, 2002

I must admit that this cd is much better than I anticipated but wasn't quite at the 5 star level. This cd is great for anyone into the emo/indie rock scene. It sounds kind of like Get Up Kids meets Weakerthans. It took me two listens before I connected with #6(When is Pearl Harbor Day?) and a few listens more before I completely fell in love with the rest of the album. He has an amazing voice and each song sounds completely unique from the previous one. My only complaint is that the melody and words to the verses are awesome but they build up to a very basic chorus line that is repeated a few times to fill the chorus.

Stumbled across this band just by chance, and I'm really glad that I did...these guys are sweet. I agree with one of the other reviewers that this stuff is super-catchy, but Sunday's Best manages to escape the pitfall of catchy tracks that suck after the fifth time you listen to them. This is good stuff, lyrically and musically. Like J.E.W.? You'll definitely dig this one.
