Review

'Apple' by Mother Love Bone is a rock masterpiece that blends classic influences with a fresh 90s flavor. Released in July 1990, this album showcases the band's incredible talent and potential, particularly through Andrew Wood's captivating vocals. Songs like 'Stardog Champion' and 'Crown of Thorns' are perfect examples of their ability to craft hard-hitting tunes with memorable hooks.

The album's sound is rich and diverse, drawing inspiration from rock legends such as Led Zeppelin and Queen. Wood's flamboyant vocal style, reminiscent of Freddie Mercury and Marc Bolan, adds a unique dimension to the music. The high-quality production, courtesy of Bruce Calder, Terry Date, and Mark Dearnley, further enhances the listening experience.

Tragically, 'Apple' was released shortly after Wood's untimely death, casting a bittersweet shadow over its reception. Despite this, the album has earned its place in rock history, praised for its innovative approach to classic rock sounds. It's considered a significant precursor to the Seattle grunge scene and the later success of Pearl Jam, making it an essential listen for any serious rock fan. - Raegan
