    It is a strange album for Sunny Day in that it lingers in an abstract realm that the band previously only hinted at.... album is SDRE's most mature work to date. It is so musically dense and complex.
  2. All Music Guide

    It's some of the band's fullest-sounding work, rich with strings and keyboard flourishes... The Rising Tide is one of Sunny Day Real Estate's -- and 2000's -- most impressive albums.

    SDRE has always flirted with prog-rock machinations, but some of these songs are just too over the top to be written off as experiments in musical nostalgia.

    There are actually a couple of weaker moments. But in large part this album is the shimmering realization of everything that makes this band so loved and so revered. Mature and musically complex, and Jeremy's voice has never been better utilized or produced.… Expand
