4.0 out of 5 stars Grunge doesn't get any heavier than this..., April 27, 2005

By	MetalManiac (San Francisco, Bay Area) - See all my reviews

Those who have the nerve to call all those new bands (3 Doors Down, Nickelback, Alter Bridge...) "grunge" should listen to the mighty Tad and learn what grunge is REALLY all about. Tad puts all those college crybabies to shame and makes them sound like f**king Westlife! Yes, grunge can be massively heavy and those 4 Seattle heavyweights show it, pound for pound, in their best work to date. A solid album, with enough variety to please any hard rock fan. Check out the power of "Grease Box", the punk fury of "Throat Locust", the nice piano touches in "Luminol" (my personal favorite), the crescendo emotion of "Paregoric", the sludgy mayhem of "Pansy" and the great melodic finale of "Gouge".

This is grunge at its very heavy best, this side of Melvins, Alice in Chains and early Soundgarden. Ya can never go wrong with the Tadster...

5.0 out of 5 stars Metal Before Pantera, December 17, 1998

By A Customer

This was one of the greatest records I bought in 1994. Tad was known as that one "metal" band from seattle. Take a listen to the track Grease Box, and try not to get a ticket speeding to the Record Store's dollar-bargin bin! The first time I saw TAD they opened for Alice in Chains, any ways Tad stage dove and nobody caught him. If you didn't know, Tad weighs about 300 pounds. This Cd is so heavy it weighs 10 pounds, and it is produced by J.Mascis-if anybody cares. -Dragoon

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a "Tad" bit heavy., April 28, 2004

By	H3@+h (VT) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is a pretty sweet, yet forgotten album. "Tad" normally get catagorized as grunge, and though they are, they could also be metal too. In fact it really is more metal, just played by guys wearing flannel. Not alot of smash hits came from this album, but "Grease Box", "Leafy Incline", and "Gouge" are a few of my favorites. "Luminol" has some nice touches too. As a whole though it's a great listen. This was also produced by J Mascis of "Dinosaur Jr." fame, not that it sounds anything like them. Worth checking out if you ever come across it.
