 A classic in my own little world... Jun 09, 2005
I don't know anyone else who knows this band. The first time I've heard of them was when I bought "Dyslexicon" really cheap in a dusty second hand shop... and I loved it so much I just wanted more Dandelion. So I went back to the same shop and found "I think I'm Going To Be Sick"... It managed to make me forget all about "Dyslexicon" and how much I cherrished it.
The two albums (which, sadly appear to be the only ones) are very different in ways of production. It is an interesting contrast... "Dyslexicon" has a massive, almost saturated sound with only four members (the singer on guitar) while this album sound a lot cheaper and features the band as a five piece (the singer not on guitar). If you like albums like "Bleach" by Nirvana or any of the other Grunge and Sub Pop bands then give these two albums a chance.

 "37 used & new" Aug 06, 2003
If the above doesn't say it all. People can't even give away this contemptible chunk of excrement. Dandelion (Columbia Records, 1993) is obviously one of the slew of horrible bands caught up in the major labels' post-Nirvana orgy of band signings. (That's the major labels for you - always playing catch-up.) The approach seems to have been the same as that used by net fishermen - cast those nets wide over the open seas, haul in everything, and hopefully you'll find one or two nice catches (the "next Nirvana") amongst an ocean's worth of garbage which can be chucked back overboard. Dandelion is one of the bands that got chucked back overboard. There is not a single original idea or note anywhere on this CD - just incredibly awful, derivative, fake grunge that makes Candlebox sound like the Beatles by comparison. The singer ("Kevin" according to the liner notes - the band members are only identified by their first names, wow, how cool and down-to-earth!) is an even less talented singer than that guy from Blind Melon who OD'ed around this time, mercifully putting an end to that band's career. Even the CD's intentionally "weird" cover art and its title are cynical attempts at seeming nihilistic and "edgy" (oh-so-trendy in the early 90s), although they turn out to have exactly that effect on the listener. This CD makes me sick - sick with despair that the once-respectable Columbia label stooped so low as to sign these clowns.

My all-time FAVORITE CD Nov 12, 2002
I used to be a huge fan when these guys played the clubs in Philly. While this album is a little rough on the production side (they ought to let lead guitarist Carl Hinds go in and re-mix it) it's got some of the finest lyrics and best grooves you'll ever hear. No music collection is complete without it.

Awesome CD!! Jan 06, 1999
This CD has everything fans of groups like Nirvana love... awesome guitars, booming drums, deep bass, and grungy gritty vocals. Dandelion shines on songs like Waiting for a Ride and Onion Field. I personally recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan of alternative music.
