Review

"Throwing Copper" by Live is an incredible album that captured the essence of the alternative rock scene in the mid-1990s. Released in 1994, it was a commercial smash, selling an impressive eight million copies in the United States, speaking to its appeal and staying power. With a diverse array of songs, from urgent and political to slow and introspective, Live thrilled their fans and made a lasting impact on the music world.

The album kicks off with "The Dam at Otter Creek", a stunning track that showcases Ed Kowalczyk's emotive vocals, building from quiet beginnings to a powerful finish. "Selling the Drama" is a catchy pop-infused single, featuring an anthemic chorus that screams mid-1990s alt-rock. Other standout tracks like "I Alone" and "Lightning Crashes" are testimonies to the band's artistic range. I loved how the album's messages shone through, with "Top" telling a powerful story of resistance against corruption, while "All Over You" brought a sweet pop element. The energy of their performances at Woodstock '94 and other tours only solidified "Throwing Copper" as a pivotal moment in the band's journey, making it a memorable disc that's still loved today. - Ava
