Pete Yorn -Day I Forgot
Published May 06, 2003
I am a huge fan of Pete Yorn's first CD, Music For The Morning After an eclectic mixture of rootsy rock and folky ballads, but having only heard the recent single off of his latest one, I will let the reviewers speak for me. If looks and sex appeal count though, he gets an A++++. I found not one bad review, so buy it already.
ModernRock - "Overall, Yorn has created and emotionally charged pop rock album that is one of the best sophomore albums to date."
StarTribune - After releasing one of the finest recordings of 2001 with his debut, "Musicforthemorningafter," Yorn has steered clear of a sophomore slump with this hard-rocking follow-up."
TechTV - A Mini Interview - "He's the real deal — the kind of guy who dives deep into his work and does it the old-fashioned way: by himself.
Canoe - JamAlbums - "And while that gets a bit old after a while — like the prom king complaining the head cheerleader dumped him — Yorn's considerable talent and songcraft help Day I Forgot stick in your mind."
Tampa Tribune - "This disc finds Pete Yorn as earnest as ever and even more adept at mixing traditional singer-songwriter sounds with rock and Brit pop."

That's all well and good, but my job is to list what is available, not pass harsh judgment on the opinions of other's taste in music. I listed what I could find. I haven't heard it, which I stated - but I find it hard to believe that EVERY single reviewer is retarded.
Maybe your taste in music happens to be not of the highest quality? I will take my chances that five people in agreement are more "on" than one person who disagrees.
But I will give you this, anything anyone from Tampa has to say should be thrown out with the trash, that is town devoid of taste.
Also, why do people feel the need to not leave their names. That is so lame.
I am a HUGE fan of "Musicforthemorningafter" and I have to say I absolutely love "Days I Forget". I am left thinking that a lot of people aren't listening to this album closely enough to allow the songs to grow on them.
C'est la vie.

look at the reviews that you found. not exactly the most trusted or revered names that a music aficionado turns to for reviews, eh?
i though the first album was good. the second is terrible.
