Description

 On this weeks episode, we discuss one of the most underrated albums by one of the most underrated bands of the 1990s: Spilt Milk by Jellyfish.  Only the band's second outing, Spilt Milk is a fully realized collection of of meticulously crafted pop songs, with orchestration and lyrics that elevate those songs way above your normal pop fare. After a critically acclaimed, but commercial disappointing debut, the creative core of the Jellyfish- Andy Sturmer and Roger Manning Jr - set out to create their masterpiece. Supported by a veteran produce and engineer, and backed by a number of top notch studio musicians, many believe the band succeeded in that goal.  Released at a time when record buying public was more interested in the distorted guitar and vocals of grunge than a band drawing critical comparisons to Queen and the Beach Boys, the the album  fared worse the charts than its predecessor. This, combined with the toil of making the "perfect" album took its toll on the band. Spilt Milk  was not only their crowning achievement, it was to be their last album.
