Mudhoney - Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge
On their second full-length Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge, Mudhoney expanded their fuzzed-out sound but missed on delivering a killer track
Mudhoney may have written some of the most recognized pre-Nirvana breakthrough tracks associated with the Seattle sound of the 80s like "Touch Me, I'm Sick," "Suck You Dry," and "In 'n Out Of Grace," but the band has had as much in common musically with the sound of Detroit punk and garage bands like MC5, Iggy & The Stooges, The Gories, Sonic's Rendezvous Band, etc. On their second full-length album, Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge, released in 1991 just months before Nirvana's Nevermind changed the musical landscape, the band took their established template and added vintage organs, blazing harmonicas, and acoustic guitars to expand their sound. While it helps break up what can become a repetitive listen thanks to the eight-track lower-fidelity production, the band can't deliver on a killer melody or hook the way they had on their previous standout songs.

Midnight Oil - 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Released in 1982, Midnight Oil's fourth album 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 might have been their last on a major label after disappointing sales and negative reviews of their previous effort. Instead of playing it safe, the band woodshed their new material in Australian pubs before heading into the studio and crafting a layered, experimental new wave.
