For a band that often gets lumped
in with the so called “emo revival”, I don’t feel that Daylight gets the credit
they deserve for the impact they’ve had on the scene. Mostly because they aren’t
and emo band, rather the leaders in popularizing grunge among a new generation
of listeners. Jar, Daylight’s most recent full length album, could easily pass
as a Nirvana reunion album. Fat, distorted guitars pound out simple but
effective riffs while accented by very minimal but tasteful lead work. However,
the song quality isn’t as consistent as it could be and some songs fall short
of the expectations set at the beginning of the album by “Sponge” and “Life in
a Jar”. Fortunately, the majority of the album is fantastically written and is
definitely worthy of multiple playthroughs. If you want some variety in your
collection of emo/pop-punk/indie jams but don’t want to give up the depression,
then this album is for you.
