I really wanted the Gin Blossoms debut album back in the day, but my mom wouldn't buy it for me because of the word 'Gin'. She didn't want me to be a drunk. This album starts off great. The hits are all here, including 'Hey Jealousy' (by the way, in the 'Hey Jealousy' video the lead singer sings through a chain length fence, probably because he really liked Pearl Jam "Vs"), 'Found Out About You', 'Until I Fall Away', and 'Allison Road'. Not sure why they go country on the last song; in fact, I usually turn it off before the song is even over. Today is no different.
The debut album by Wavves "Wavvves" is more of an experience than anything. Most of these song just meld together into one composition. You've gotta love 'Gun in the Sun', 'So Bored', and 'No Hope Kids'. 'To the Dregs' is just ok here, but rocks in the recordings the lead man, Nathan, did with Zach Hill.
Archers of Loaf "Icky Mettle" rocks hard! If you haven't heard this, then stop what you are doing and listen to 'Web in Front' right now. 'Wrong' and 'Might' are also great tracks. There's a great warning siren sound to the guitar in 'Hate Paste' and there are some good song near the end of the album, but nothing comes close to beating the A-sides.
