Generator helped me learn how to play drums by playing along
to it, helped me learn chords trying to figure its songs on guitar,
helped me learn how to sing harmonies by singing along to it in my car,
and improved my vocabulary by having to break out a dictionary every
once in a while to figure out what the hell Greg Graffin was singing
about. That learning, exploration and inspiration proved to be
invaluable and I can honestly say that the 14-year career I've had with
Thrice wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for this record.
(for some reason) you don't own this record, please think about
celebrating its 20th birthday (and thanking an iconic punk rock band for
their contribution to the genre) by picking up a copy.
Here are my top three songs from that album:
1) “Generator”
2) “Too Much To Ask”
3) “Atomic Garden”
