Alter Bridge Alter Bridge
On their eighth studio album, Alter Bridge very wisely don't mess with the Alter Bridge formula. Confidently self-titled, Alter Bridge is filled with power, emotion and top-notch song writing, manifesting the chemistry that these four guys have. With fascinating riffs, soaring vocals and magnificent solos, each song has its own sky-high choruses with Myles leading and Mark backing. Tight and robust as ever, the rhythm section by bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips is what anchors it all. Not their best work but definitely one that contains tracks that will stand the test of time. Tony recommends: "Playing Aces", "Disreg		3.5

Our Lady Peace Clumsy
Clumsy is the sophomore release by post-grunge rockers Our Lady Peace, following their '94 debut Naveed. The album opens brightly with a couple of catchy songs, the usual tight rhythms and Raine Maida's high-pitched vocals. Although consistency is maintained in the band's sound and style, I haven't found this sophomore release to have the same anthemic hooks as the debut, albeit the polished production and greater hits. Tony recommends: "Superman's Dead", "Automatic Flowers", "4am", "Shaking", "Clumsy".r		4.0

Gruntruck Inside Yours
Gruntruck was formed by the ex-Skin Yard members, frontman Ben McMillan and drummer Norman Scott. The band's sound is similar to the archetypical Seatle grunge bands at the time, emphasising on the metal side of the genre (Soundgarden, Alice In Chains) and not the punk one (Green River, Skin Yard). Inside Yours shows a profuse chemistry between the band members: high energy, driving grooves, crushing riffs and a compact rhythm section, supporting McMillan?s rugged, melodic voice. Recommendations: "Crucifunkin'", "So Long", "Buried", "Flesh Fever".		3.0

Better Than Ezra Deluxe
Deluxe is a coherent, guitar-driven, quintessential alt rock album of the 90s. It blends nicely some introspective lyrics with pop-rock melodies to deliver an album full of energy, and sweet hooks. Radio hits 'In the Blood' and 'Good' are the strongest songs appearing here, but tracks like 'Rosaelia', 'Teenager', and the more light 'Porcelain' and 'Heaven' are also worth noting.r		3.5

Mother Love Bone Apple
Mother Love Bone are one of the greatest "what if" of rock history. The short-lived, Seattle-based, rock band was established in the late 1990s by Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard following their exit from Green River, Andrew Wood of Malfunkshun, Bruce Fairweather, and Greg Gilmore. Apple is their sole studio album and is widely regarded as a foundational, transitional masterpiece between '80s glam and '90s grunge. Andrew Wood?s charismatic voice blends eloquently a Steve Tyler aesthetic with a unique, soulful Seattle sound, is the epicenter of the album. His attitude, mojo and vocal delivery is of a man that was born to be a star. This		5.0

Our Lady Peace Naveed
Naveed is a great debut album by Ontario-based rockers Our Lady Peace. Musically, this sits somewhere between the raw power and sheer energy of grunge and the more polished production values of post-grunge. Raine Maida's animated vocals, Mike Turner's heavy guitar work, Chris Eacrett's rhythmic bass lines, and Jeremy Taggart's thunderous drumming, deliver a coherent and solid set of tracks that is accessible and easily digestible. The album's best moments are concentrated in the first half, while the second half contains some decent bangers as well ('Dirty Walls', 'Denied', 'Julia'). Tony recommends: "The Birdman", "Naveed", "Supersa		4.5

Sponge Rotting Piñata
Emerging from Detroit, Sponge released their debut album Rotting Pinata in the summer of 1994 at a time where the world was preparing for life following Cobain's death. Rotting Pinata is a melodic alternative rock album with post-grunge elements of the 90s, deserving more credit and recognition than probably has. It is full of strong melodies and infectious choruses, without necessarily being lyrically sophisticated. Tony recommends: "Drownin'", "Plowed", "Rotting Pinata", "Molly (Sixteen Candles)", "Giants".r		3.5
