I'm a diehard Screaming Trees fan. It's rare for me to like every song on a cd but I've yet to be disappointed by this band. I personally like the older music better even when it's not perfect- in fact, I may like it better because of that very quality. They write extraordinarily catchy tunes. I find myself humming them all day. I adore Mark Lanegan's young vocals- it's untrained, it's fun, he screams, says "yep" a lot, once or twice it's almost cringeworthy. If you're a fan you know what's in store in years to come and for me that makes it more lovable- this boy-man who didn't want to sing, who was uncomfortable singing, who just "tried to not get a headache" singing, had a gift in him he wasn't even aware existed. It gives me goosebumps to think about it.
