Sound in Bloomington, MN

This album, which came out in late 1991, is not noticeably different from any other release by
the Mighty Lemon Drops
, save the songs are more uniformly upbeat and the songwriting is a tad weaker.
"My Shadow Girl"
starts off as a promising piece of
psychedelia
before the drums kick in, making the song indistinguishable from the rest.
"You Don't Appreciate Anything"
is probably the best thing here, or at least the most reminiscent of the time when comparing
to
Echo & the Bunnymen
seemed legitimate. All in all,
Sound
is a reminder of how most
alternative rock
, in the months before
Nirvana
broke, was just as boring and predictable as anything in the mainstream. [
