257. Sunny Day Real Estate - the rising tide

The band takes a noticeable step forward. I feel that LP2 and 'How it feels to be something on' sound very similar at times - where this is almost more experimental, but above everything else so beautifully optimistic. I remember reading how the band had become all prog and Genisis/Yes/Rush like. I don't think such comparisions would really be a bad thing, but they just aren't right. The arrangements may come off as being a bit more intricate but they still know their sound. There couldn't have been a better opening track for this record (listen below). I'm not sure whether it was their intention to break up after this album, but it's a great goodbye and segue way into 'the fire theft'.
