Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Hoon was such a tragic loss.......2007-05-03

I find this album to be a big improvement on Blind Melon's self titled debut. It is much more diverse and tackles several musical genres with aplomb. As usual Shannon Hoon's voice is outstanding. He was a one-off. Nobody could ever sound like him. It is such a shame that he died so young and so tragically.

For me the highlight of the album and possibly one of the best songs of the 90s is "New Life". It is an amazing song both lyrically and musically. It's rare to hear a man sing about his fears and worries about impending fatherhood. Hoon wonders if the new life (the new baby) will breathe new life into him. What a noble aspiration and what a sad thing to admit. I'm sure Hoon's life was stretched enough by his drug addiction that he hoped that the impending birth of his son would give him a boost rather than drag him down further. Other classics on this album would include "Galaxie", "2X4" and "Mouth Full Of Cavities".

What an amazing talent Shannon Hoon was..and what a sad loss.

5 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars ... what could have been.......2007-02-22

This album is such a great snapshot of Blind Melon's potential. Musically it is SO diverse. Rock, New Orleans Style Jazz, country and all more in between.

While their debut is strong in its own right... Soup takes the pallet and travels in many directions that all really work. They never go beyond their ability.

The scope of this album is so broad. Lyrically it sings with Shannon's voice.

Yet another rock n roll tragedy... and an EXTREMELY overlooked album

5 out of 5 stars hands down best album of the 90's.......2006-12-14

so i recently read that blind melon was "one of the worst bands of all time" according to blender magazine. i couldn't believe that there is someone out there that has the balls to say something like that. i guess these days if music is too creative, different, or has any type of real emotion, then it's too much for the average listener to handle. this album is one of the most creative records i have ever heard! there are so many different sounds, ideas, and emotions present. everything about this band was unique. everything. if you actually like music. actually like to sit and listen to music. if you understand the magic an album can hold, then this is the album for you. if you are looking for something quick easy and to the point, i know this site sells creed records too.

5 out of 5 stars SHINE ON BLIND MELON.......2006-09-03

I wish that I could write this without knowing that this would be the last from the remarkable band Blind Melon. I remember the anticipation for this release my friends and I had, and the tragic loss we all felt when Shannon left us. I bought this in '95, and to this very day still listen with endearing reverence for a band that touches on so many different levels. I don't think there is one filler track on the whole disk. Songs like "Vernie" gushes out like honey, "2x4" like warm gravy, and "Skinned" a musical black comedy. "Car Seat" is a true gem just waiting for you to dig. I really like the changes in "Wilt", the guitar break just melts the chorus. Some of these songs are unbelievably revealing and personal, and like true artist' paint a vivid and sometimes surreal picture. Thorn, and Stevens are one of the best tandem guitar players I've ever heard, and the whole band seems so instinctive with such a lively feel. Some listners might never get it, but I'm glad I do.
