 a lost grunge classic Dec 15, 2009
way underrated, 'Sweet Oblivion' is ferocious and melodic. 'Julie Paradise' is one of the finest songs to come out of seattle, or anywhere else for that matter, during the 1990's.
Sweet Oblivion Nov 24, 2009
I had this CD when it first came out and loved it. Over the years I lost the CD and had to get a replacement. If you like the grunge rock sounds of the 90's you will like Screaming Trees the singers voice is very deep and at times has a Urge Overkill sound to it. The music is tight and the song Nearly Lost You(track 2) did get some national attention with radio air play and MTV video(MTV used to play videos LOL). Overall I would have to say this band was over looked by many and definately deseved more media attention than they received. Hope this review was helpful.
 Great album Jul 17, 2009
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.
Recovered from oblivion Mar 20, 2008
This was no unknown band nor album when it was released, but through the years it got covered with a layer of dust. The song "I nearly lost" got stuck in my head and I still could remember the lyrics a decade after I heard the song for the last time.
When I tried to find the music, it proved very difficult. Apparently after this period the music gained an audience once more and this time the music has a timelessness character. No matter what people want to call it, it's good crafted music with fine lyrics. The first time you listen to it, it will strike your soul, guaranteed!

From a grossly underrated band, their best and most accessible effort. Jan 03, 2008
This is the kind of CD you load up once, and then play for about eight or nine months. In a row. Happily. You think "Nevermind" or "Ten" were good albums? You'll love this then, especially if you have a little more Bob Mould than Soundgarden in your tastes. This is a more complex, melodic kind of album than straight-ahead rock or neo-punk, and you'll be rewarded with some really good hooks and much better lyrics to sing along to.
