my theory is that SDRE was a good band, but Jeremy is what made them special, right?
apologies if that's a "yeah, duh" statement.
the guy has such a distinctive style.

also what the hell anniversary are they celebrating w/ the reissue? 22 years?!
― alpine static, Tuesday, 3 July 2018 00:19 (five years ago) link
everyone in that band (in the original lineup at least) made that band special

though jeremy’s specialness is more pronounced with frog queen and the reunion/how it feels

xp otm, the first two records were all about those four specific players and the way they interacted. "Jeremy is what made them special" theory holds water re: Flatland Spider 7" but I think their greatness is more to do with the special magic of the four of them together than it is about any one of them in particular.
xxp yeah, it actually had me questioning my memory when I saw it marketed as the "anniversary edition"! I originally bought the CD at a store on the boardwalk in Virginia Beach (!?) while on vacation with my family, and I was struggling to reconcile this fact with my only other memory of that vacation which was a discussion of the 1996 Summer Olympics with my cousin.

Enigk and Mobb Deep, two acts that screwed up ann'y releases / didn't bother hitting a 5-year increment
sounds like a possible thread

or explain.
this is a really good album thank you for creating and contributing to this thread
― supreme court justice samuel lance-ito (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 3 July 2018 17:46 (five years ago) link
Voted for Explain. It's a peculiarly-produced track that clips out all over the place and I think the guitar is out of tune but that all just adds to the mystique.
If I could move the weight of everythingBlind the skies and change the 'tomic roleHere I am and not the answersOnly scars can show this timeI'm still wandering 'round your doorHow can I explain dearYou've been gone for some timeBut I still believe you'll be here oh no.......... again
