Teenage Fanclub

This album was 10 years before its time. If it had come out in the early 00s it would fit in with the post-punk revival, garage rock, indie sound that was common then. Instead, it came out the same year as Nevermind, Ten, Badmotorfinger, Temple of the Dog. Every Boy Deserves Fudge, and Pretty on the Inside. I remember hearing it sometime around 1995, and it didn’t stick. I probably wanted something harder, faster, and more direct. But that’s the taste we often have when we’re young. Nuance is lost more often than not lost on us. I’m not saying Bandwagonesque is a masterpiece, and the lyrics are, for the most part, simplistic, but the sound is a slightly more refined sort of candy than I looked for then.
