4.0 excellentxfearbefore | October 29th 10

A sorely forgotten gem and noted influence on Kurt Cobain's writing of the album Nevermind, this is the debut and ultimately best release of the forgotten 80s alternative/college rock group The Smithereens. This is alternative rock with huge hooks and serious nods back to the groups of the British Invasion, and songs like "Blood and Roses", "Behind the Wall of Sleep", and "Time and Time Again" are so catchy and irresistible it's remarkable they weren't major hits.

Do yourself a favor and give this a listen, highly recommended for fans of alternative rock.
