Title: Out of print - great find
Review: I was happy to find this CD on Amazon because it went out of print years ago. I had a copy years ago and am not sure what happened to it. Smile was a relatively unknown grunge-punk garage band that had two singles that were occasionally played on the radio in Southern California: "Rock Anthem for the Retarded Teenage Hipster Population" and "Staring at the Sun". Staring at the Sun, in particular, is sort of an unknown 90s alt-rock classic. Overall this album is fairly weak in the songwriting department with only a few truly great songs, but the performances are energetic and guitar tones are thick and crunchy. I recommend this to fans of 90s grunge, punk, and power-pop bands like Silverchair, Bush, Sponge, and the Offspring.
Is the review positive or negative?
