This, in my eyes, is the most perfectly recorded album of all time. Not at all over produced, it's fragile with mistakes left in that make it almost seem live. It makes me want to record something every time I listen to it. It's primarily acoustic guitar driven,with the occasional piano... and a full orchestra. It's both quiet and intimate and a humongous sounding classical piece at the same time. This record was recorded after Sunny Day Real Estate broke up the first time, after the recording of LP2. I think that this record really was a stepping stone for the later Sunny Day work, not necessarily in the arrangements of songs, but the power and confidence in which Jeremy Enigk sang. It's perfect in every way.
5/5
