Album Notes & Community Reviews

Attempting to navigate the radically shifted musical landscape of the 1990s, the veteran arena-rock band largely abandoned their glossy, heavily produced signature sound. 'Slang' introduces darker lyrical themes and a stripped-down, organically recorded alternative rock edge, marking a significant departure from their blockbuster releases.
