Our Take

Soul Asylum has always been the band you put on when you need some good old-fashioned American rock to lift your spirits. And with their latest compilation album, "Black Gold - The Best Of," they deliver a high-octane collection of hits that will have you reminiscing about the good ol' days.

From the anthemic power of "Runaway Train" to the gritty charm of "Somebody to Shove," this album is a masterclass in 90s alternative rock. Frontman Dave Pirner's emotive vocals soar above the blistering guitar riffs, creating a sound that is both raw and polished at the same time.

But it's not all hard-hitting rock on "Black Gold." Tracks like "Misery" and "Without a Trace" show a softer, more introspective side to the band, proving that Soul Asylum is more than just a one-trick pony.

Overall, "Black Gold - The Best Of" is a must-have for any fan of classic rock. It's a nostalgic trip down memory lane, with plenty of sing-along anthems to keep you coming back for more. So grab your air guitar, crank up the volume, and let Soul Asylum's infectious energy wash over you.

About the artist

Soul Asylum

Soul Asylum are the unsung heroes of the alternative rock scene, known for their infectious blend of grunge, punk, and power pop. Hailing from Minneapolis, this band has been churning out hits since the 1980s, yet somehow they still manage to fly under the radar. Led by the incomparable Dave Pirner, Soul Asylum have weathered numerous lineup changes and industry fads with their integrity intact. Whether they're belting out anthems like "Runaway Train" or delving into more introspective territory, this band never fails to deliver the goods. But what truly sets Soul Asylum apart is their live show. Pirner's raspy vocals and raw energy are a force to be reckoned with, while the tight musicianship of the band members keeps audiences on their toes. They're the kind of band that can make you dance, cry, and mosh all in the span of a single set. Despite their impressive discography and dedicated fan base, Soul Asylum have never quite reached the same level of superstardom as their peers. Perhaps it's their refusal to conform to trends, or their penchant for keeping a low profile. Whatever the reason, it's clear that this band is content to let their music speak for itself. So next time you're looking for a dose of honest, no-frills rock n' roll, give Soul Asylum a spin. You won't be disappointed. They may not be the flashiest band on the block, but they sure know how to rock.
