One of the most labeled "One hit wonders" of the 90s, one might not even remember them unless "Sex and Candy" were to come up in a conversation. Its strangely deviant lyrics and minimalist, but catchy chorus, made it a rare gem in the one hit wonder world of Ace of Base and Dee-Lite. Marcy Playground's debut, though not the best of Alternative 90s, definitely goes deeper than most flash in the pans. The music varies from bluesy to poppy, to ominous to simply catchy, but the recurring disturbing themes such as drug use (the lead singer admitted to doing tons of drugs earlier in his life) are constantly present.
