Product Description

Sunny Day Real Estate (SDRE) return with a clear mind, conscious and urine sample with their 3rd album reflecting the full shape, color and passion of their strange departure and return. Originally this album was to be a collection of unreleased rarities, but after they sifted through photos and outtakes, the original spark of the band was rekindled. Needless to say, retrospective was scrapped and the focused on the future (which this is a product of). Track list includes: "Pillars," "Roses in Water," "Every Shining Time You Are Arrive," "Two Promises," "100 Million," "How It Feels to Be Something On," "The Prophet," "Guitar and Video Games," "The Shark's Own Private Fuck" "Days Were Golden"

Amazon.com

Sunny Day Real Estate broke up in 1995 when bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith left to join the Foo Fighters or when frontman Jeremy Enigk converted to Christianity, depending on whom you ask. The band got back together in the summer of 1997 (minus Mendel, replaced by former Mommyheads bassist Jeff Palmer) to jam, and a full album blossomed. The result, How It Feels to Be Something On, is nothing short of stunning. Poking their heads into the gaping jaws of yearning, Enigk and company unravel tight, atypical rock songs to reveal a shimmering spool of uncertain longing. Almost sounding like an unlikely hybrid of the Smiths and Yes, How It Feels... is the grandest slab of musical sympathy since Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream, equal parts intensity and sadness for the sing-along set. One of 1998's best albums. --Jason Josephes

Beautiful Album, Poor Handling

Beautiful Album, Poor Handling
If you're curious about the quality of the music, much has been said by more articulate critics than I. It's a beautiful, captivating album that everyone should hear. It arrived in a soft package and so the cardboard case is a little creased. Luckily the disc is unharmed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Epic
    Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2017

    This album is absolutely brilliant. I've been listening to this album for close to 20 years and I remember hearing the song 'Pillars' in a record store (remember those?) back in 1998 and getting instantly hit. Most people think 'Diary' is Sunny Day Real Estate's best album but in my opinion this is their finest work and is easily in my list of top 5 greatest Rock albums of all time. It represents the perfect marriage of indie rock and prog rock. They do everything perfect here- from the profound and rhythmic lyrics, chiming and bombastic electric guitars, flawless beats, sweet melodies. This was Sunny Day Real Estate in their finest hour.

    It's too bad that this album or Sunny Day Real Estate never got the credit they deserved back in their heyday- they should have been bigger than they were. But fortunately, a new generation has discovered them so ultimately they left their mark.

    This is the 3rd time I've had to buy a new copy because I've worn the others out (I prefer CDs to downloads because of the cover art). I'm sure I'll have to buy another in the future. If you love Sunny Day Real Estate, I highly recommend this epic album.

    5.0 out of 5 stars How it feels to be something brilliant...
    Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2009

    True or false: SDRE are a pioneering force in the emo genre? Answer: Who cares? Fact: They are unquestionably one of the most enigmatic and talented bands of the past fifteen years. I'm a reformed emo basher (check out my Tool review)who has finally learned that as a reviewer there's only one thing that matters: The quality of the music.

    HDIFTBSO is as imaginative, heart felt and beautiful as any recording I've ever heard... simple yet complex...familiar yet strange. Listen closely and you hear some of their influences: chiming guitars swirling between a Smithy jangle and U2 edginess; late period Lennon/Beatles vocals mixed with the occasional Jon Anderson falsetto.

    The music goes well beyond their influences. I once knew a guitar player who 90% of the time was quite ordinary. But then sometimes, unexpectedly, after a bridge or musical break would play something so unique, so beautiful that time seemed to stand still and he would leave listeners breathless. This, my friends is what this album is like. Most of the the songs twist, turn and take on many forms. The CD reveals its limitless depths with every spin... Just like those transcendent moments of the guitarist I mentioned.

    Highlights: Pillars, Every Shining Time You Arrive, How it Feels to be Something On and Guitars and Video Games.

    P.S. Memo to Sub Pop: Please re-issue and remaster this album with bonus cuts (you did a great job with Diary and LP2.)

    yes, it is true.
    This is an amazing album. I practically wore out my CD copy of this a few years back. ...I saw on a page where it was re-released onto clear Loser Edition orange Vinyl and I knew that it was for me. (there's a pun there somewhere).
    I threw on my new awesome orange plastic and was (re)floored by the SO ORIGINAL and SOUL CHANGING music that was pouring into my head. Wow Wow Wow... and that was just Side 1 !!!!!!

    ...you should get this album, no matter what format, it is well worth changing your life over.

    ...The vocals ? Well, i'd say no. he isn't a brilliant singer... but that is the phenomenal glowing aspect of this album.... not beautiful but
    perhaps the most beautiful thing you've ever heard. actually makes me tear up at times even though it isn't a sad album. hard to explain. ... worth a million more listens till I figure it all out.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Band, Amazing Album.

    I just started collecting vinyl records when I got my player for Christmas last month, and this was one of the first I bought. I've always loved Sunny Day's proggy/indie/emo sound, and this album is the pentacle of that style. Some people say Diary is their best album, and others disagree and say The Rising Tide is their best. No matter which you like more, How It Feels To Be Something On has the perfect blend of the two. Truly a masterpiece, and it is such a same that they won't be making any more music.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This could be their best album....
    Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    When this album first came out people were shocked because it sounded nothing like the first 2. Jeremy Enigk had stopped using his voice as a whine and started using it as an instrument. I love this album because it is a combination of their past and their future that would become years later The Rising Tide. The only reason why this might not be my favorite is I love the raw sound of the first one (Diary) but I do think it's a big step from what they once were

    ミディアムテンポな楽曲に、絡みつき締め付けるような唄。はっきり言って残酷です。聞く人のコンディションによっては這いずり回るような感覚があるかも知れません。でも、それが気持ち好いんです。きっとその残酷に感じたものは実は優しさ。キャッチーなものばかり聞いて鈍ってた自分が恥かしい。バンドの姿勢も硬派でイカしてます。ジェレミーのソロもこれまた素敵です。是非聴いてみて下さい。ｅｍｏ何て言葉では括れない「良さ」があります。
