Having established that their 21st century reunion was not a passing thing, Suede decided to stretch themselves with The Blue Hour, the third record they’ve made since reuniting in 2013. Unlike that year’s Bloodsports or its 2016 sequel Night Thoughts, The Blue Hour isn’t produced by Ed Buller, who helmed their three big records of the 1990s (Suede, Dog Man Star, Coming Up), it’s the work of Alan Moulder, the veteran producer whose fingerprints were all over alternative rock of the ’90s that had little to do with Brit-pop.

Richard Thompson – Rumor And Sigh (1991) [2018, MFSL Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Richard Thompson - Rumor And Sigh (1991) [2018, MFSL Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

While Richard Thompson’s devotees will tell you the man is a triple-threat genius — passionate vocalist, compelling songwriter, and sterling guitarist — even his most loyal supporters will concede that the dour nature of his songs and the no-frills production of many of his albums make the bulk of his catalog tough sledding for the uninitiated. Given this, 1991’s Rumor and Sigh is arguably the best album for those wanting to sample Thompson’s work for the first time.

Stone Temple Pilots – Discography (1992 – 2013)

Stone Temple Pilots - Discography (1992 - 2013)

Stone Temple Pilots were able to turn alternative rock into stadium rock; naturally, they became the most critically despised band of their era. Accused by many critics of being nothing more than ripoff artists who pilfered from Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, the bandmates nevertheless became major stars in 1993. And the influence of those bands was apparent in their music, although Stone Temple Pilots did manage to change things around a bit. STP were more concerned with tight song structure and riffs than punk rage. Continue reading “Stone Temple Pilots – Discography (1992 – 2013)”

Temple Of The Dog - Temple Of The Dog (1991) [2013, 24bit/96kHz + 16bit/44.1kHz, Vinyl Rip]

Featuring members of Soundgarden and what would soon become Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog’s lone eponymous album might never have reached a wide audience if not for Pearl Jam’s breakout success a year later. In turn, by providing the first glimpse of Chris Cornell’s more straightforward, classic rock-influenced side, Temple of the Dog helped set the stage for Soundgarden’s mainstream breakthrough with Superunknown.

Alice In Chains – Greatest Hits (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Alice In Chains - Greatest Hits (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

From 1999’s Music Bank box set and its one-CD compilation offshoot, Nothing Safe: The Best of the Box to a 1996 Unplugged CD, the Alice in Chains titles continue to arrive even while the band–and especially reclusive frontman Layne Staley–stagnates. The quartet’s heavy, dirgelike music is aging well, but the 10 songs that comprise Greatest Hits are the basic radio hits. Greatest Hits features no new music, no liner notes, no lyrics, no new photos, and no elaborate packaging. Still, for the rock fan Continue reading “Alice In Chains – Greatest Hits (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Ryan Adams – Rock N Roll (2003) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Ryan Adams - Rock N Roll (2003) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Rock n Roll is the fourth studio album by Ryan Adams, released on November 4, 2003. The album features the hit single “So Alive”, and includes guest appearances by Adams’s then girlfriend, actress Parker Posey, former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bass player Melissa Auf der Maur, and Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong. Adams describes the album as “the most rock thing I have ever done,” and notes that in spite of the album’s mixed reception, recording it was “fun as fuck.” Continue reading “Ryan Adams – Rock N Roll (2003) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

John Mayer – Room For Squares (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

John Mayer - Room For Squares (2001) {Hi-Res SACD Rip}

After making a small buzz with the Inside Wants Out EP, John Mayer hired veteran producer John Alagía (known for his work with the Dave Matthews Band) to beef up his full-length debut with commercial polish. Released in September 2001, Room for Squares proved to be a well-timed album, quietly heralding the end of teen pop’s glory days with clever wordplay, savvy chord progressions, and mature songwriting.

OK Computer is the third studio album by English alternative rock band Radiohead, released in 1997 on EMI subsidiaries Parlophone and Capitol Records. The members of Radiohead self-produced the album with Nigel Godrich, an arrangement that the band has used on all of their subsequent albums to date. Other than the song “Lucky”, which was recorded in 1995, Radiohead recorded the album in Oxfordshire and Bath between 1996 and early 1997, mostly in the historic mansion St. Catherine’s Court.

Pearl Jam – Discography

Pearl Jam - Discography

Pearl Jam rose from the ashes of Mother Love Bone to become the most popular American rock & roll band of the ’90s. After Mother Love Bone’s vocalist, Andrew Wood, overdosed on heroin in 1990, guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament assembled a new band, bringing in Mike McCready on lead guitar and recording a demo with Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron on drums.

Heathen marks a new beginning for David Bowie in some ways — it’s his first record since leaving Virgin, his first for Columbia Records, his first for his new label, ISO — yet it’s hardly a new musical direction. Like Hours, this finds Bowie sifting through the sounds of his past, completely at ease with his legacy, crafting a colorful, satisfying album that feels like a classic Bowie album.

Even if you lived through it, it’s hard to fathom exactly why Weezer were disliked, even loathed, when they released their debut album in the spring of 1994. If you grew up in the years after the heyday of grunge, it may even seem absurd that the band were considered poseurs, hair metal refugees passing themselves off as alt-rock by adapting a few tricks from the Pixies and Nirvana songbooks and sold to MTV with stylish videos. Nevertheless, during alt-rock’s heyday of 1994, Weezer was second only to Stone Temple Pilots as an object of scorn, bashed by the rock critics and hipsters alike.
