4 out of 5 stars A minor genre classic.......2004-10-30

I picked up on Sunday's Best when I was about 21, a little more than a year before this LP came out. As of late 2004, five years later, I doubt the band has done anything in over two years. The production and hooks on this LP are tight, and the vocals are awesome - a cross between Thom Yorke and Jim Adkins (of J.E.W.) if you can picture that. One word of advice: don't open your debut album with a song that most people will take for "Don't Stand So Close To Me," by The Police.

4 out of 5 stars almost there.......2002-06-03

I must admit that this cd is much better than I anticipated but wasn't quite at the 5 star level. This cd is great for anyone into the emo/indie rock scene. It sounds kind of like Get Up Kids meets Weakerthans. It took me two listens before I connected with #6(When is Pearl Harbor Day?) and a few listens more before I completely fell in love with the rest of the album. He has an amazing voice and each song sounds completely unique from the previous one. My only complaint is that the melody and words to the verses are awesome but they build up to a very basic chorus line that is repeated a few times to fill the chorus.

5 out of 5 stars Pure Greatness.......2002-04-23

This cd was wonderful, the hidden track totally suprised me, i had no idea how awesome they were until now. Truly recommend buying this, i cant wait for their next one to come out...its going ot be wonderful!!!

5 out of 5 stars one of 2000's best albums...........2001-07-27

one of my favorite albums of 2000. if you like rainer maria you'll love these guys... super catchy, but also really rocken. sunday's best's lyrics are wonderful: "i hate nostalgia / it trys to hard / to remember only the easy parts." and the hidden track shows just how great these guys are as instrumentalists... do yourself a favor and don't pass this cd up.
