Just listened to this. Have Slave Ambient and like it.
This is much of the same. Good for a song or two, but gets very repetitive. It's like the band has no ability to change tempo in the midst of a song. The drummer might as well be, and is likely, a drum machine.
After a while, it becomes soulless

I thought it was a snooze.
3rd time through. Not a snooze, I dig it...but it's nowhere even close to the best rock album of the past 20 years

Fired this up this morning on the way to work (well, the remastered version on Spotify). I can't believe how well it holds up. Definitely an all-timer.Tomorrow is the 19h anniversary of it's release. Song for song, it's hard to find a rock album of any era that can match it. It's an all timer in any generation.
Forgot about these two somehow. I guess it's "cool" to hate Oasis nowadays but I can't bring myself to do it.

Two maybe underground albums on major labels that aren't mentioned (we already did our favorite albums of the nineties, so...I'll let those stand)
Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut
Toadies - Rubberneck

Toadies - Rubberneck
Not gonna lie. This war in drugs album is really growing on me. Very relaxing without being depressing. I can't put my finger on it, but it's some strange mix b/w Don Henley/Bob Dylan (only on some songs)/and some other 80's artist that I can't think of

I was one of those haters when it came out. I was in a big classic rock phase and labeled them as a Beatles wanna-be. I was very wrong, Oasis holds up better than most of the 90s grunge groups.

So last night I saw War on Drugs at the Fillmore in SF. As if I needed more of a reason to 
them. They were absolutely fantastic.
You listen to a song like "Under the Pressure" on the album and think, man, that's a pretty great song. Then you hear them do it live and realize it's not just a song it's a ####### production. Pretty incredible stuff.

That ####### Toadies album is fantastic. I saw them in Fort Myers, FL (of all places) and they killed it. Big, big fan of that album. By proxy alone i'll check out the Hum record. I think the Toadies had a badass song on the Crow 2 soundtrack.

Not sure they're amongst the best album but the Toadies reference reminded me of:
Seven Mary Three - American Standard
and
Better Than Ezra-Deluxe (21 years close enough)
There was also this band in Tallahassee while I was in school that was killing the nightclubs and released an album called My Own Prison which was really good. Then Creed got popular and everything turned to ####, somehow including my copy of My Own Prison.

I love that album. I didn't get into it until the aughts, for the most part. Hum is a great band who have put out a great couple of albums. Sort of dreamy, psychedelic guitar rock. They're a lot different from the Toadies -- I think only the decade itself is the binder between those two bands. But both were and are wonderful. There are a bunch of other great albums from the past twenty years, but I just figured I'd pass on a few that people hadn't mentioned.

In college it was a constant war of mix tapes in the house. oasis and the verve vs. pearl jam and nirvana. We lost the battle back then but I think we won the war. Definitely Maybe, WTSMG and Urban Hymns sound as good today as when they were released. Pearl jam and nirvana sound dated, dull and depressing.

Colbert signed off for the last time to Holland, 1945. Which if you know his story, is pretty heavy. Brings new meaning to two-headed boy. Especially the second one.

I see Toadies a few times a year and they rock every single time. This last tour they played Rubberneck from beginning to end, one song right after another, no discussion in between. Simply amazing. My only complaint is that they started out the show with it instead of finishing with it. The triple drumming (Mark and two roadies) on I Burn would have ended the night perfectly.
