Baboon

To me, this album is just freaking fantastic. While Baboon never really split up, this represents them kind of sort of going out on a real high note. Every song on this album is fantastic. This album came out just as, if not right before Dallas’ music scene crashed and burned (pretty hard). Deep Ellumn became a ghost town, and suddenly the most you could see was cruddy cover bands at sherlocks. It’s sort of limped it’s way back since, and another outing from these guys would be phenomenal. Everything from the energy, song writing, and vocal production is beyond solid. Andrew Huffstetler is a beast of a singer, and if you ever get lucky enough to see this band play, do it!

Amazing album. Been a fan of thiers for a long time, but lost track years ago. They have put out some really cool stuff over the years, but this one is unbelievable.

this is the one. big, beautiful guitar-rock, but completely wank-free. every song on this record inspires group sing-alongs, whether in a car or shutting down a bar. try listening to "Dracula Eyes" without screaming along during the chorus...damn-nearly impossible.
