Album Notes & Community Reviews
This debut studio album from the Fort Worth, Texas band became a slow-burning commercial success, eventually achieving platinum status years after its initial release. 'Rubberneck' is defined by its dramatic shifts in dynamics, unconventional time signatures, and dark, narrative-driven lyrical themes drawn from folklore and true crime. The album's enduring popularity was fueled by the hit single 'Possum Kingdom', a staple of 1990s alternative rock radio.
