Volume 5: Reprise
After scratching my “almost” itch with the last 10 albums, I’m ready to dive right back into the 1990s. Early on, I’d wanted to make sure that I covered as wide of a spread of bands and artists as I could and aimed to keep the variety high by leaving out duplicates for the time being. However, there were a number of bands that I got interested in from the decade, and many times they produced more than one album that I would gladly consider one of my favorites.
This volume will focus exclusively on albums from bands who have already been featured in the series. After all, bands and artists do have a right to put out more than one great album, right? Far too often are groups defined by a single album and discussed as if nothing else meaningful ever came from them.
These aren’t listed in any particular order, though I have attempted to group multiple releases from the same artist/group together (although I make no guarantees that I won’t have a few scattered around).
