Free Music Notes for Sweet Oblivion

Free Music Review: Great album
Hit: 5 Stars

I was a kid when grunge became popular and didn't listen to much music. It wasn't until Marilyn Manson became big with "The Beautiful People" when I was twelve that I liked that kind of music. Sure enough I would eventualy find grunge and start listening to bands like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. For years I listened to this unaware of the greatness that was right under my nose. When I discovered Screaming Trees it was refreshing to hear something new but still great. During a time when Nirvana hit it big following the footsteps of great bands like Soundgarden and Screaming Trees people were looking for more energy and angst. Screaming Trees were on the other hand more mellow and focused more on song writing. Their music went over many peoples heads who were looking for dirty whiners because the media told them it was "cool". Not to get me wrong Nirvana made some good music but were very overated, and not to mention overplayed even to this day. This is why I can't listen to them anymore. Anyone who's sick to death of hearing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" check out Sweet Oblivion for a change of pace. Every track is filled with great song writing backed up by the second best grunge vocalist of all time.

Sweet Oblivion Poster

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. 1992 album from the Alt-Rock band considered to be one of the Godfathers of Grunge. Although they were one of the best Seattle bands of the early '90s, they never achieved the commercial success of bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. Lead singer Mark Lanegan started a very successful solo career after the Screaming Trees, working with the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Greg Dulli (Afghan Wigs), Isobel Campbell (Belle & Sebastian) and UNKLE.
The Screaming Trees should've had it all, and Sweet Oblivion is the album that should've given it to them. The Ellensburg, Washington, band's second major-label disc is as expert a set of pounding grunge and shifting moods as anything this side of Nirvana. But despite a set of brilliant hooks, intriguing lyrics ("Shadow of the Season," "Julie Paradise"), and Mark Lanegan's attention-getting vocals, it stopped short of going gold. Still, along with its belated follow-up, Dust, this is a masterwork of '90s hard rock. --Rickey Wright
