Sister
[SST]
While its follow-up—the much lauded Daydream Nation [Enigma-1988]—is often cited as the band’s turning point, it’s actually this, their fourth album, that saw them deviating from their previous sound and laid the musical blueprint for the band’s subsequent releases.
Although not a commercial success upon release, the album is regarded by many as second only to Daydream Nation in their catalog, and is frequently included in Best of the ‘80s lists.
Also, lead-off track “Schizophrenia” served as the inspiration for the Foo Fighters hit “Everlong”. Take that as you wish.
Released June 1, 1987.
