Reviews Customer Reviews for Sweet Oblivion      Recovered from oblivion      Rating:      This was no unknown band nor album when it was released, but through the years it got covered with a layer of dust. The song "I nearly lost" got stuck in my head and I still could remember the lyrics a decade after I heard the song for the last time. When I tried to find the music, it proved very difficult. Apparently after this period the music gained an audience once more and this time the music has a timelessness character. No matter what people want to call it, it's good crafted music with fine lyrics. The first time you listen to it, it will strike your soul, guaranteed!     Customer Reviews for Sweet Oblivion Cd      From a grossly underrated band, their best and most accessible effort.      Rating:      This is the kind of CD you load up once, and then play for about eight or nine months. In a row. Happily. You think "Nevermind" or "Ten" were good albums? You'll love this then, especially if you have a little more Bob Mould than Soundgarden in your tastes. This is a more complex, melodic kind of album than straight-ahead rock or neo-punk, and you'll be rewarded with some really good hooks and much better lyrics to sing along to. -C Editorial Reviews for Sweet Oblivion Audio Cd      Amazon.com      The Screaming Trees should've had it all, and Sweet Oblivion is the album that should've given it to them. The Ellensburg, Washington, band's second major-label disc is as expert a set of pounding grunge and shifting moods as anything this side of Nirvana. But despite a set of brilliant hooks, intriguing lyrics ("Shadow of the Season," "Julie Paradise"), and Mark Lanegan's attention-getting vocals, it stopped short of going gold. Still, along with its belated follow-up, Dust, this is a masterwork of '90s hard rock. --Rickey Wright
