weird isnt it?...
i thought these guys were American until ten minutes ago when i found out theyre from the UK...
this was the debut album from these..
obviously thought they were from the US because of their grunge sounds...i mean grunge is grunge is grunge...its a genre that all sounds the same all the time!
best thing about the band IMO, is the vocalists vocals,fits somewhere beteeen the mellowness/softness of Vedder and the screechy screams of Cobain.
first time i heard the slow burner "glycerine" on the radio in 1994 my ears pricked up, i'd never heard nothing like it, there were some interesting music styles happening in that period
and songs like that one,Alanis' "you oughta know",Blur's "country house", Oasis' "whatever" etc bought me back into music...which i'd given up on in the late 1980s...
anyway...i still love "glycerine" and one other off this album, but half of the album is crappy grunge,thus the two love tracks take this one from a real low score to a scrape in 'like' which is a bit deceiving on the total worth of this album!
I LIKE THIS ALBUM(apparently?)
