Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stripping away the eclectic idiosyncrasies of their earlier work, 10,000 Maniacs embraced a lush, incredibly melodic folk-rock sound on their breakthrough album. Natalie Merchant’s warm, articulate vocals deliver fiercely political and socially conscious narratives atop chiming, pristine jangle-pop guitars. 'In My Tribe' remains a deeply compassionate, highly influential pillar of American college rock.
