The album blends intense, chaotic energy with lush, orchestral arrangements, creating a sound that is both visceral and melodic. It received near-universal critical acclaim upon release, with many praising its ambitious scope and emotional depth, but has it retained a lasting influence Source Tags and Codes remains a defining moment in the band's career and is considered a classic by fans of the band, but does it stand up over twenty years later?   Songs In This Episode Intro - It Was There That I Saw You 18:09 - Another Morning Stoner 22:09 - How Near How Far 25:23 - Baudelaire 30:34 - Relative Ways Outro - Monsoon   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Remember that band you loved in 1997 whose CD got buried in a moving box, or the one-hit-wonder that vanished from the radio? Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock is for anyone who believes that era’s alternative and rock scene still has stories left to tell. This isn't just a nostalgia trip; it's a dedicated excavation. Each week, the hosts go deep, pulling one specific album from the shelves for a track-by-track discussion that feels like friends debating in a record store.

Listening to this podcast feels like rediscovering a part of your musical history you’d almost forgotten, presented with a genuine enthusiasm that’s contagious. You’ll hear more than just the big hits from the era; you’ll get the deep cuts, the missed opportunities, and the albums that deserved a second chance.
