80The results are just wonderful. [Sep 2003, p.112]
-
70A whiz-bang jukebox of state-of-the-art West Coast scruff-rock. [May 2003, p.126]
-
There's nothing wrong with these 12 midtempo rock songs, but they mostly lack personality and distinctiveness. [18 Apr 2003, p.70]
-
Ultimately, Day I Forgot lacks the emotional poignancy and experimental sonic character present on every track of Musicforthemorningafter.
-
60The album is much more conservative than Yorn's debut, and in many ways more ordinary.
-
Unlike its predecessor, Day I Forgot falters noticeably in spots.
-
50Although he has sensibly cut back on the droning that defined his last disc's stand-out single "Strange Condition," this release shows few other signs of growth.
-
40He name-drops so many famous folks he's obviously banking on his connections. [Sep 2003, p.97]
-
Apart from a voice that makes being bummed out sound almost sensuous, Yorn still hasn't developed a truly distinctive musical personality to go with his one-man-band studio skills.
-
40Unfortunately the record sports plenty of filler.

TheScientist7If you like Pete, you'll like the cd, its more upbeat but unfortunately with less differentiable songs.
-
Tintinny2Ok, but lacks anything new.
