Soup by Blind Melon (CD, Aug-1995, Capitol/EMI Records)

Soup is a great cd. The whole cd is a treasure trove of good songs including galaxie, 2x4, toes across the floor, and vernie. Great buy if you like blind melon or if you just feel like picking up a great cd. Sadly not to long after this album was released the band was broken up due to the singers death. Album rating is A+++. Highly recomended

this cd is one of the most under rated pieces of rock history. its shameful how little attention was paid to it after shannon hoons death.
ground-breaking vocals, songs, and the all around ability of this bands performances.the new orleans feel that was lent to the sound (vs. blind melons first cd which was a little early 90s hippie)cause you to sincerely wonder what if.
hopefully we will get to hear more of shannons legacy through nico's (his daughter) voice as she performs from time to time with the current line up of blind melon. if you are a sincere music fan, dont sell yourself short and not own this cd at some point in your life.
you can hear the groans of a man cryin for help, struggling during the search, and from time to time finding redemption, all while intricately streaming through "how did they think of that?" music.
heartfelt, silly, and altogether lovely, blind melon, and shannons time together should have never ceased.
i am a music freak and put this in my top 5 ever!!!

If you liked no rain, this isnt it. I liken it to niravanas jump from nevermind to in utero. This album gives a break out sound for blind melon. I dont doubt they would have continued to evolve in our ears.

i love the group that is why i bought it.the music is excellant and they know how to rock.i bought it fro my son, who loves the band to.

I have absolutely no reason to write anything bad about the product purchased. The reason I bought the product is because the original one I had was broke and needed to be replaced, mostly for sentimental reasons.

one of the more underrated and unappreciated records of the 1990's alternative music craze.Not sure why this one got passed over by fans,radio,mtv,magazines,etc.,for the homogenic sounds of bubblegrunge bands like COLLECTIVE SOUL/SOUL ASYLUM,(WHO BOTH IRONICALLY LACKED ANY KINDA SOUL!)oh well that's usually the case,so anyway,check this one out for real!lots of diversity here,along with fierce,passionate vocals from late singer SHANNON HOON.his gifted songwriting shines brighter than a thousand suns on this one,too!The two things i love most about this record are the numerous moods all these songs surface,and most importantly,the timeless quality it possesses.It sounds even better today than it did 13 years ago when it originally came out!Unfortunately this would be their last studio recording.

Blind Melon's "Soup" is easily the best album, not to mention the most overlooked album of the 90's. It saddens me that this band was only remembered for "No Rain" by the major population of listeners. When it was easily their worst song (though I still love it). They have always been and remain my favorite group of all time. And this album is the reason why.
