Screaming Trees-Sweet Oblivion (1992)

Rooted in the grunge sound of the late eighties, Screaming Trees had a difficult start. Their musical vision wasn't always understood by a large part of the general public, and it wasn't until well into the following decade that they began to gain recognition from both the public and specialized critics. "Sweet Oblivion" was their definitive breakthrough, where they definitively left behind their dense, dark rock with psychedelic touches and garage sound, moving towards a hard rock typical of the seventies. This album contains a very attractive collection of tracks such as the superb "Shadow Of The Season", "More Or Less", "No One Knows", "Nearly Lost You", and "Butterfly", together forming their best work, which paved the way for them on the North American charts, reaching a surprising fourth place on the Billboard charts and selling over three hundred thousand copies in the American market alone.
