Track to skip: the last few tracks head downhill, and get kinda goofy, but they’re all good in their own way
Grunge!! Man, I miss the early 90’s. Actually, I don’t. But this was from that flannel-clad time. It seems like yesterday. Maybe since this was released in 1990 it was the first Grunge album?!?! Who cares!
A great debut album. It’s too bad these guys had such a short career, they were a great band. I don’t think you could really tell what they were capable of from this album, but it’s still good to listen to. We Die Young is just the ultimate opener. Such a great song. I’m still kinda sick of Man in the Box, and it’s really not that awesome of a song. I don’t like the ‘chunkiness’ of the riff; it gets old after a while. It’s an average track. Many others are a lot better.
This album is pretty solid all the way through. Yeah, they do get goofy near the end, but I really can’t pinpoint a ‘low’ track on this one. Good, solid, heavy album. A great start for a great band. Go grab it, and the next 3…they’re all classics.
