Better than Ezra-Friction, Baby
One of the forgotten pop bands of the 1990's, Better than Ezra is a bit hard to place. Their sound is too hard for generic, simple pop and it's too soft for grunge or rock. They remind me of a lighter sounding Creed (a guilty pleasure band of mine). Some of their songs are quite good and lack of a better word, more macabre than what is remembered. "Desperately wanting" is a great song about looking back in your childhood and feeling that you'll never recover the joy and innocent that you once had. It's not a feeling I share, but it conveys those feelings perfectly.
The full album has that kind of feeling-it's radio friendly and popish, but it's also kind of dark and melancholy. While perhaps forgotten in this time and era, it's a certainly an album to look into getting.
