In Circles

Lately my friend Chris keeps talking about Sunny Day Real Estate and how great they were. Personally, I loved their first album, Diary, but my interest waned with subsequent releases.

Their next album, commonly known as the 'Pink Album', was self-titled. And it was a downer. A total and complete downer. While I realize that it was simply the direction the band was headed in, I also missed the energy of "Diary." That was when I lost interest. Then the singer Jeremy Enigk put out a solo album titled "Return of the Frog Queen." I wasn't very into that, either. I'm talking about a time when I was on college radio, I was still (barely) under 21, and I wanted more power in my music.

But...times change, musicians evolve, and people grow up. Enigk has a brand new solo album called World Waits, and it comes out on October 17th.

After hearing the first single Been Here Before, I'm really curious. Check out his MySpace page here, you can listen to more songs there.
