 I love you Pete Yorn Sep 21, 2009
Great album! I love every song! Pete Yorn is even better live! This album is a must have; my favorite songs are "Pass me by", "Long way down","Turn of the century" and "All at once". This album is certainly an excellent follow up to Music for the Morning after and Night Crawler. An excellent prelude to Back and Fourth. I love you Pete Yorn!
One of the Best Albums Ever Aug 29, 2009
Pete Yorn's second album doesn't disappoint. If you liked his first, musicforthemorningafter, you'll love Day I Forgot. With songs like Crystal Village and Burrito, he's back with soulful lyrics and that unparalleled voice you couldn't help but fall in love with on his first album.
Not forgettable to me May 24, 2008
Multi-talented musician Pete Yorn has called "Day I Forgot" a "feel-good" CD that was kind of a breezy natural extension of his excellent debut album, Musicforthemorningafter. Based on the bright-sounding single "Come Back Home," which is not the best song on the CD but perhaps best encapsulates what he was going for at the time, Yorn deftly hit the lighthearted mood he was striving for. "Day I Forgot" is the result of a year and a half of grueling touring, a maturation in Yorn's songwriting process and the bliss he felt in finally being able to come home and stay put for a while.
Yorn's second effort has a more compact feel than his more sprawling but stellar debut CD. "Crystal Village" is a gorgeous piece, complete with Yorn's typically reflective lyrics that somehow include everybody and convey both sadness and hope. This song and the rougher "Carlos (Don't Let it Go to Your Head)" make for an interesting start to the record, which is hook-laden throughout. The album's middle portion is mid-tempo and at times beautifully mesmerizing, with a snappier feel compared to the first record, in the sense that the songs seem to get to the point quicker. "When You See the Light" is one of Yorn's best songs ever, a joyful number that is impossible not to sing along with at the chorus, similar in tone to "Alive" from Nightcrawler. On the more "punk" side of things, "Burrito" is a fresh, quick blast of ultra-catchy guitar rock energy that probably sounds great live. The peaceful pace and tenor of the sublime "All at Once," meanwhile, makes it seem like Yorn could write a great country album if he so chose.
Song-driven, tuneful, seemingly dedicated to his childhood friends and far from just by-the-numbers rock `n' roll tracks, "Day I Forgot" was the excellent second stepping stone toward Yorn's brutally honest musical odyssey.

Overlooked Classic May 21, 2007
Regardless of what others think, "Day I forgot" by Pete Yorn is a phenominal album. The music, soul, heart and lyrics are very powerful. If you want real music, here it is. Buy the album, you won't regret it.
Melodically Surprised May 14, 2007
I have found that imports are always packing extras for your listening pleasure. The cost is more but well worth your money
