The commercial breakthrough for this Seattle foursome came with their song "Nearly Lost You" from the soundtrack to the 1992 Cameron Crowe film SINGLES. That song, included here, is a powerful slice of dramatic rock that's only vaguely related to the grunge scene into which the Screaming Trees were unfairly lumped.
While the group's major-label debut, 1991's UNCLE ANESTHESIA, had its metallic elements, the band mostly favored a '70s-style brand of neo-psychedelia more indebted to TOMMY-era Who and other FM radio stalwarts than to punkier grunge forebears. Mark Lanegan's classic-rock voice and Gary Connor's thunderous guitar give this album a much more commercially viable sound than the group's earlier albums. SWEET OBLIVION is a minor classic of grunge-era commercial alternative music.
Recorded at Baby Monster and Sear Sound, New York.
Screaming Trees: Mark Lanegan (vocals); Gary Lee Conner (guitar); Van Conner (bass); Barrett Martin (drums).
Spin (10/92, p.106) - Highly Recommended - "...Screaming Trees use tools forged in the heat of early-70s post-psychedelia to forge songs with new-sounding structures...powerful, poignant, and bittersweet..."
Entertainment Weekly (10/9/92, p.58) - "...Screaming Trees aren't just another grunge band. The Trees' deep roots suggest more a classic rock band, with traces of Neil Young, '70s Southern rock, psychedelic pop, and garage punk..." - Rating: B+
Q (10/92, p.90) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...they recall the more belligerent outpourings of Deep Purple, Sabbath and even Blue Oyster Cult...there is glory in gargantuan sonic gestures..."
Village Voice (3/9/93, p.80) - "...these Northwest veterans have started roiling and hooking and knocking 'em dead at the very moment they seemed ready to expire of corporate torpor..." - Rating: B+
NME (Magazine) (10/3/92, p.37) - 8 - Very Good - "...the sound of a spirit renewing itself...their big triumph...flows with the happy tension of a band that's corralled its scattered energies, shed a few skins and put to work the huge buzz that's come with their new lease on life..."

'Con arreglos musicales modernos al ritmo del pop rock y la balada pop, con elementos de jazz, salsa, rhythm and blues, bluegrass y country, este es un disco que vale la pena escuchar de principio a fin. Once excelentes temas magistralmente interpretados conforman este álbum, que al escucharlo nos transportó a los 60, la época de oro del sello discográfico de Motown, y nos paso por los 70, 80 y 90 hasta traernos de vuelta al presente y permitirnos dar un vistazo al futuro.'- José Javier Aponte Parsi- La Semana'! Su estilo no se parece al de nadie! el principal atractivo de su disco es que contiene historias con la que todo el mundo puede identificarse!'- José Pagán- El Nuevo DÃa' !no solo es el debut de Isis, sino también es el debut en grande de la próxima Diva puertorriqueña ¡OJO CON ELLA!...' - El Vocero -Hola, soy Isis, me gustarÃa hablar un poquito de mà ya que has tomado de tu tiempo para escuchar mi música. Soy de Puerto Rico, la isla del encanto, una pequeña isla localizada entre el mar caribe y el océano atlántico, dónde la mezcolanza de blancos , negros y taÃnos nos hace únicos y auténticos como pueblo. El mar, el verdor, el cemento, todo cerca, todo un mejunje fabuloso en la pequeñez de 100 X 35 m2 pero la inmensidad humana nos hace encontrarnos, orgullosos, en cualquier esquina del planeta. Yo, nacà en San Juan pero me crié en Caguas, comencé a cantar como todos, en la ducha, mayormente disparates 'operáticos' en idiomas no existentes (mi familia es muy musical y a mi mamá le encanta la opera), luego observando como la familia se reunÃa a disfrutar de la bohemia protagonizada por mi tÃo en la guitarra y en la voz mi mamá, le encontré un gustito a eso de la melancolÃa y romance de los boleros y baladas del antaño, además, la fiesta que se logra con una guitarra es única! Mi tÃo me presentó la guitarra y comencé a dar mis primeros tumbos como guitarrista y compositora. La primera canción que escribà fue un intento fútil con una melodÃa ya existente, al ver que no tenia nada que ver, comencé a inventar melodÃas y asà a crear canciones. Estando en la universidad me di cuenta de que pasaba mas tiempo escribiendo canciones que prestando atención al ...
| | Alice Cooper Trash CD (1989)
Sweet Oblivion CD music
$5.95 
While Alice Cooper's late-'80s comeback was a success largely on the strength of his ever-popular stage show, his albums of the era, 1986's CONSTRICTOR and 1987's RAISE YOUR FIST AND YELL, failed to reap mass commercial success. All of this changed with 1989's TRASH, his first platinum-certified album in nearly 15 years. The album's top-10 single ...

Sweet Oblivion songs
$5.95
After penning the songs for Meat Loaf's massively successful Bat Out of Hell album, Jim Steinman decided to step into the spotlight himself when his singer's voice was too damaged to record a follow-up. The result was 1981's Bad for Good, an epic slab of operatic rock that is very much in the same vein of Meat Loaf's ...
