TRULY - Fast Stories... From Kid Coma 2LP
Debut studio album by the American rock band, originally released in 1995. The album was put out by Capitol Records' Revolution imprint, while the vinyl was handled by Sub Pop.
Fast Stories... from Kid Coma is loosely a concept album about a comatose kid "reliving a past summer of grandeur." The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "a hard-hitting, insistent record that occasionally overreached in its attempts to distance itself from its contemporaries."
"Heavy but never bludgeoning, melodic but never cheesy, excessive but never ridiculous, Fast Stories is an extended trip into several of rock's outer dimensions." - Trouser Press
Loudwire ranked the album at twenty-sixth in their list of "The 30 Best Grunge Albums of All Time".
Kerrang! wrote "remains a genuinely vital album, and quite possibly the [grunge] genre's swan song."
Louder Sound named the album in their list of "10 obscure but absolutely essential grunge albums".
"the great psychedelic hard rock rush of the year." - MTV
Members of the band: Robert Roth (vocals, guitar), Hiro Yamamoto (bass guitar, member of Soundgarden), Mark Pickerel (drums, member of Screaming Trees).
