Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Candlebox return with their much-anticipated third album, Happy Pills. One of the most successful bands to emerge from Seattle in the 90's,Candlebox hones and refines its sound still further on this album; Happy Pills stands as their most powerful and accomplished effort to date.

Poor little Candlebox. Not only were they written off as one of a dozen or so Seattle clone bands, but they were also the first of the postgrunge, here-today-gone-tomorrow crop that's grown fertile with the addition of groups such as Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, and Marcy Playground. So how does Candlebox aim to thwart expectations and hurdle obstacles? Simple. They get all sentimental, forsaking alt-rock muscle in favor of slick, overtly melodic rhythms and overly produced arrangements. Even when they threaten to kick out the jams, as on the title track and "Blinders," they resort to lilting vocals and ragged, predictable blues-rock passages because, hey, that's what sells. Probably not this time. --Jon Wiederhorn
Review
Lacking the invigorated refrains that helped pop the band's '93 debut album, these pills pack all the punch of a placebo. -- Entertainment Weekly

- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2014The song is almost like two different tracks melded together into one. It starts off as a ballad then rocks out and then at the end brings the melody of the ballad together with the hard part in the middle of the song. I wonder why they didn't do more songs like that? Why did they go on a ten year hiatus instead? The song should have been a spring board into greater territory. The rest of the album is great too.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2016Highly under-rated CD from a highly under-rated band. Candlebox seems to have been written off in the glut of amazing music of the 1990s. Any other decade and Happy Pills would've been epic. They're far from a two-hit wonder and while Lucy seemed destined to disappoint (though a very solid album, it's hard for any band to follow up the massive success of a best-selling first album) Happy Pills should've solidified Candlebox and one of the best bands of their time. Looking forward to their newest effort, Disappearing in Airports.

Alessio P.Reviewed in Italy on January 23, 20184.0 out of 5 stars Altro bel album, ma con meno canzoni rock
Anche questo terzo album della band l'ho apprezzato, seppur con meno canzoni rock nel senso stretto della parola. Infatti vi sono più ballads e c'è un uso più preponderante di chitarre acustiche.
