Soup by Blind Melon
 
   

Product Description

 
Blind Melon: Shannon Hoon (vocals); Christopher Thorn, Rogers Stevens (guitar); Brad Smith (bass, background vocals); Glen Graham (drums, percussion).

Recorded at Kingsway Studios and Ultrasonic Studios, New Orleans, Louisiana from November 1994 to January 1995. All songs written by Blind Melon except "Car Seat (God's Presents)" (Blind Melon/Blanche Bridge). From the onset, Blind Melon eluded simple musical categorization. They weren't grunge moaners, or alternative posers, or nouveau hippies--just five guys who took a classic FM sound and molded it to their own requirements. So when "No Rain" began climbing the charts, it was hard not to cheer on their progress through the sea of plaid-shirt mediocrity.

Soup...an Under-appreciated Final Gem

Date of Review:  Nov 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: A great album from a band unlike anybody else of their time.
Review: Just two full length albums of material were released by Blind Melon before Shannon Hoon self destructed, overdosed, and died in 1995 while on tour in support of the band's second album, Soup.

Blind Melon was unlike other bands of their...

Date of Review:  Oct 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: It's hard to not give it a perfect score. The music is pure and free.
Review: Blind Melon holds as one of my personal favorite bands for many reasons, but mostley because it's great music. Soup is their second album released. Coming out a bit too long after their first self titled release. Sadly the media totally ignored this...

one of the greatest albums nobody knows about

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2001
The Bottom Line: this album is catchy, enjoyable, and has a diverse collection of sounds - i would honestly recommend it to anyone
Review: Blind Melon's Soup makes a radical departure from their guitar-rock debut, adding brass, mandolins, banjos, and even kazoos into the mix. the result is an album filled with songs that stick in your head and just don't seem to get old. here now is a...
