When people talk about 90's music grunge bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sound Garden and Alice in Chains are the first thing that comes to mind.
But there was another wave of music that past through the 90's as well. These bands were more of a heavy pop rock mix such as Counting Crows, Gin Blossoms, Matchbox Twenty, Foo Fighters and a band who had it's beginnings in the 80's but it's big success in the 90's... Soul Asylum.
After a 6 year hiatus from the recording studio Soul Asylum is back with "Delayed Reaction" their first album since 2006's "The Silver Lining."
On "Delayed Reaction" the band welcomes former Replacements, and current G'N'R, bassist Tommy Stinson into the band as a full fledged member. His presence seems to have rejuvenated this great band.
Soul Asylum is once again ready to rock as "Delayed Reaction" kicks off with the punchy "Gravity." Other highlights include "The Streets," "Take Manhattan" and "Let's All Kill Each Other." Leader Dave Pirner also keeps the album eclectic with the lounge singer sounding "Cruel Intentions" and the shuffling pop sound of "Into The Light (Breaking Horses).
Welcome back Soul Asylum because right now you are exactly what rock radio needs and "Delayed Reaction" deserves to be heard!
Drumroll please... 9 out of 10 drumsticks!!!
