Customer Reviews

I love the bee girl
This is that band whose lead singer died in a heroin overdose just months after giving an interview where he spoke about heroin's deadly effects and how he was addicted in the past. He died not long after Kurt Cobain's suicide. This band was a pretty righteous-looking group of neo-hippies. I really enjoyed their songs. This self-titled CD is a wonderful and overlooked gem.

Very good, somewhat underlooked album.
I just recently got this album, I'd heard "Tones Of Home" and of course "No Rain", and found them both to be pretty good, but didn't really consider the album until a friend of mine put the gorgeous Led Zeppelin III-esque "Change" on a mix tape. I happened to find the album used later, and decided to pick it up. It's a bit different from what you might expect, most of the songs are more rocking than "No Rain" and their "hippy rock" reputation would suggest, and yet despite some similarities to early Pearl Jam and Jane's Addiction (mainly in the late Shannon Hoon's vocal style, which often recalls Perry Farrell), it's a bit too classic rock influenced to quite fit in with typical 90's grunge and alt-rock. However, this is a positive thing in the long run, as it's managed to stand the test of time surprisingly well for a debut by a band with a fairly shortlived 90's career. Although the songs sometimes seem to noodle on for too long, an overall pretty strong sense of melodicism and especially Shannon Hoon's soulful vocals keep this from dragging things down too much. Reccomended if you're a fan of Pearl Jam and Led Zeppelin.

Speechless
my first listen to blind melon was a freak accident. i was watching the retrospective on headbanger's ball when they showed a part about blind melon and they played a 4 second clip of 'no rain' i thought it was nice. im into nirvana and pearl jam and they had that sound. so when i got the disc i was expectant. Whoa! from the beginning to the very end this band put me on edge. the thing to realize is every member of the band is completely individualistic yet perfectly together in harmony its incredible i thought no rain was one of the worser songs after listening to the whole record its totally worth the buy
