Screaming Trees’s last album for SST was also the first they’d made away from Ellensburg with Steve Fisk as producer, shifting instead to Seattle and Jack Endino. In combination with Mark Lanegan beginning to own his own preferred and rapidly becoming unmistakable singing voice, it was a striking step for the group all around, continuing the psychedelic garage feel of their start while adding some solid classic rock punch to the performances. Standouts include “Where the Twain Shall Meet,” “Flower Web” and the heavy wah-wah of “Black Sun Morning” and “Wish Bringer.”
