Buffalo Tom Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Emerging just as the college rock of the 1980s metamorphosed into the alt-rock explosion of the '90s, Buffalo Tom have withstood shifts of fortune and style to become one of their generation's enduring rock bands. Over time, the Boston trio tempered the full-throttle guitar roar that got them pegged as "Dinosaur Jr. junior" upon the release of their eponymous debut in 1988, an evolution that happened quickly: Let Me Come Over, the 1992 album that broadened their audience in the U.S. and the U.K., was anchored by the aching ballad "Taillights Fade." During the '90s, Big Red Letter Day and Sleepy Eyed kept Buffalo Tom in the orbit of the alt-rock mainstream on both sides of the Atlantic. Following the 1998 release of Smitten, the band went on a hiatus that lasted nearly a decade. After the 2007 release of Three Easy Pieces, Buffalo Tom remained an active band, touring periodically and releasing such new albums as 2018's Quiet and Peace and 2024's Jump Rope every few years.

Top 5 CD's of the 90's. Bill Janovitz at a whole other level which is no insult to his later work, but on this CD more than any other, his words never resonated so deeply.
