Review

Spin (11/93, p.135) - Highly Recommended - "...The best thing about Buffalo Tom is that it revels in the yearning, heartfelt, energetic, `alternative' thing, but somehow manages to avoid churning out that generic, ultra-sincere, nice-guy college rock crap..."
Alternative Press (5/01, p.104) - Included in AP's "10 Essential Breakup Albums" - "...[Their] most radio-friendly release....recounting the aftermath of a failed relationship..."
NME (9/25/93, p.38) - (8) - Excellent - "...BIG RED LETTER DAY is Buffalo Tom's most consistent album to date...it's a LARRY away from godhood..."
NME (12/25/93, p.67) - Ranked #32 in New Musical Express' list of `The Top 50 LPs Of 1993' - "...has all the de rigueur pop highs and heart-mangling weepies without once lapsing into formula...."

Album Description

It's not the standard musical progression: band goes through a flurry of breakups, band produces their most accessible, most poppy record. However, that's what Boston indie outfit Buffalo Tom did with BIG RED LETTER DAY. The 1993 album opens with the effervescent guitar rocker "Sodajerk," a mix of abstractly melancholy lyrics and jangly hooks which would prove the band's biggest hit. The trio builds on the tremendous ballad formula it discovered on their prior album's "Taillights Fade" with a pair of absolute classics, the brooding "I'm Allowed," and the `50s-reviving "Late at Night" (the latter would gain a second life when featured prominently on the cult TV show MY SO-CALLED LIFE).
