Days for Days is an album by the Loud Family, released in 1998.[3] The band's leader, Scott Miller, and the bass guitar player, Kenny Kessel, are the only members of the band remaining from the previous album. Gil Ray, who had been a member of Miller's 1980s band Game Theory, joined Miller for the album.

Odd-numbered tracks on this album are soundscapes without names, while even-numbered tracks are named songs. While the odd-numbered tracks had no listed titles on this release, subsequent live recordings of the songs (as on From Ritual to Romance) titled these tracks by number - so track 1 was "One", track 3 "Three", etc.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "the band does rock more convincingly than before, with stomping guitars in 'Deee-Pression' and the dizzying opening melody of 'Crypto-Sicko' (a bit Big Star, a bit Talking Heads)."[4]
