Honestly liked Diary a bit more but I?ve noticed a trend of ?throw the three best songs you?ve ever heard onto the very front of the album?. The rest of the album also obviously holds up, but as I say Diary just resonates more with me

Reforming a couple of years after their self-titled sophomore record, which was a classic record that may or may not have sounded like it did by accident, Sunny Day Real Estate took a less intense, but still evocative route with their third full-length, How It Feels To Be Something On. The classic, twinkly guitar sound is still there, and there are some extra instruments in the fray this time around. There is a number of classic SDRE songs here ("Pillars", "Every Shining Time You Arrive", the title-track, "The Sharks Own Private F*uck"), but the songs in between them, while good, are nowhere near the level of the aforementioned. The band by this point has dropped most semblances of grunge or post-hardcore that they possessed on their first go around, but were now influenced by indie rock moreso than ever. Though it is a little inconsistent, this is still a very good comeback record for one of the most important emo bands ever to play.

Such an incredibly solid album. The only low point is "The Prophet" with its odd chanting, but otherwise the album is full of incredibly well-written songs that pull at your brain strings.

When you have as extensive a backlog of "need-to-listens" as I do (slowly chipping away at a 200+ heap), when deciding whether to keep an album or not, you probably follow something of a forumla. About 99% of the time it comes down to: judging an album on its merits and flaws, and either keeping or trashing accordingly. Rarely does something magical happens where you're completely blown away by the sheer beauty of the music; that's what happened to me today with "How it Feels to Be Something On." 4.6/5
