3rd studio album - #120 US

One of those groups I backtracked on after hearing something. Looks like I still need their first two, maybe someday. Group was formed in 1993
in Washington state by the above 3 members. They didn't get much notice until this release which was their first on a major label. Still this
album only charted in the US and has only reached gold status. I don't see that any singles were released which may have been part of the
problem. After receiving much criticism for licensing the song Gravity Rides Everything for a Nissan commercial, member Brock had this to say,
"People who don't play music for a living can criticize my morals while they live off their parents' money or wash dishes for some asshole."
Guess he told them. The album title was taken from the opening scene of Blade Runner. It is supposed to be a concept album that emphasizes space
and the afterlife. I never get any concept album that doesn't tell a story and I didn't get a story out of this. Maybe after you know it, but
liner notes say nothing about this being a concept album. I guess you're supposed to be on the same drugs the writer is at the time he wrote it.
