There are some songs that play, rewind, and repeat in your head for a few days before it's replaced by another song. I've had the Anniversary's "I Believe that the End of the Reign of Terror is Soon Near." The song itself is just as long winded at the title, but that just adds to it epicness. There's three parts to this nine minute song. The first two minutes that play like any straight forward indie rock song minus the twee pop factor. Around the two minute mark, we enter this Sunny Day Real Estate zone with crashing drums and maniac guitars lines before the reverb transcends into a piano solo with echoing choir harmonies. Following this instrumental part, we enter the third and final section: stripped down arrangement of pianos, vocals, and acoustic guitar before the drums and lap steel rush over us like an undertow.
I miss this band. Here's hoping a reunion tour is underway after the release of their B-sides album, despite the band's break up four years ago.
