Our Take
Review: As I popped in Screaming Trees' "Sweet Oblivion," I couldn't help but feel like I was transported back to the grunge heyday of the '90s. The album opens with the infectious, gritty track "Nearly Lost You," instantly hooking you in with its raw energy and impassioned vocals. Lead singer Mark Lanegan's distinctive gravelly voice shines throughout the record, adding a sense of depth and soul to each song. The band's musicianship is on full display, with tight, driving rhythms and swirling guitar riffs that will have you nodding your head and tapping your feet in no time. Tracks like "Dollar Bill" and "Shadow of the Season" showcase the band's ability to mix heavy, hard-hitting rock with introspective, melancholic lyrics. It's a delicate balance that Screaming Trees pull off effortlessly, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience. While some may dismiss Screaming Trees as just another grunge band, "Sweet Oblivion" proves that they were a force to be reckoned with in their own right. The album is a testament to the band's enduring legacy and their ability to craft timeless, powerful music that still resonates with listeners today. In conclusion, "Sweet Oblivion" is a must-listen for any fans of '90s rock music or anyone looking for a nostalgic trip down memory lane. So grab your flannel shirt, crank up the volume, and let Screaming Trees take you on a journey back to the golden age of grunge. Cheers, mates!

About the artist

Screaming Trees

Screaming Trees are the unsung heroes of the grunge scene, often overlooked in favor of Seattle's bigger names like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. But make no mistake, this quartet from Ellensburg, Washington is the real deal. Formed in 1985, Screaming Trees have been delivering their unique blend of psychedelic rock and punk energy for over a decade now, and they show no signs of slowing down. With Mark Lanegan's haunting vocals leading the charge, the band's sound is a perfect storm of raw emotion and frenetic energy. Their 1992 album "Sweet Oblivion" catapulted them into the mainstream with hits like "Nearly Lost You", but it's their earlier work that truly showcases their talent. From the fuzzy guitars of "Uncle Anesthesia" to the dark, brooding tones of "Dust", Screaming Trees have a discography that demands attention. Sure, they may not have reached the same heights as their grunge peers, but that doesn't make them any less important. In fact, their underdog status only adds to their charm. So next time you're looking to delve into the gritty, unpolished world of '90s rock, give Screaming Trees a listen. You won't be disappointed. In a world of overproduced pop and cookie-cutter indie bands, Screaming Trees are a breath of fresh air. So crank up the volume, let Lanegan's gravelly voice wash over you, and prepare to be transported to a time when rock music still had soul. Because when it comes to authentic, unadulterated rock 'n' roll, Screaming Trees are the real deal.
