What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



This band never grabbed me the way it did most. Only thing I have and I guess the earlier stuff is supposed to be better. This is their fifth album and there are two tracks that I love and two that did nothing, with the rest just passing, making it a fair album I guess. Just not enough to have made me pursue their work. Georgia band formed in 1992 that fits closely into the grunge area I think, on the harder tracks. Others of course disagree. I won't go there. Once again a group who rode the waves of their debut hit, Shine, never to reach that pinnacle again. I guess the feature on this one was supposed to be the guest spot with Sir Elton on Perfect Day. Didn't do much for me. The album did reach a respectable #22 here, with no singles hitting the main chart. This was the groups last album with Atlantic, and their least successful. Their still kicking though.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Happiness

Best Track - After All

We steal to lose every colour
From the sky
Then crawl as a child
While the shadows burn our eyes

We know there's no longer shine
On this burned out rainbow

Lately it seems we've been chasing
What times resolved
Maybe something means nothing here
After all

Whispers are now screams
This conclusion never ends
My pride with your kiss
Even angels can't defend

We know we're running head on
Into our confusion

Still we hide safe behind these crumbled walls
Cause we know there's nothing here after all
