In 1997 Moist return on their third album right where they left off with a hard rockin’ huge sound. This time out the singles didn’t find the radio as easily but the album is still strong and will rock your 1990’s socks off. The album had four singles released and they all did well in Canada but US charts were not finding them this time around.

If you are looking for a song that you heard on the radio back in the 90’s you aren’t going to find it here unless you are from Canada or were lucky enough to have the music video channel MuchMusic. This album is for true fans of the band and those who just want to kick back with some rockin’ tunes.

Leave It Alone, Resurrection, Tangerine and Gasoline were the singles released and would be a good place to start.

Moist present a hard rockin’ huge sound on Silver. The time was right for a band like Moist, the alternative scene was in full swing and Canada was long overdue for new rock n’ roll heroes. Moist gave them that for a little while with two huge alt rock hits and an album that rock’s from beginning to end. David Usher’s vocals are big, Mark Makowy’s guitars are big, Jeff Pearce’s Bass is big, Paul Wilcox’s drums are big, and Keith Young’s Keyboards are just right and that equals a big album. Seriously though this album was as strong as any other early 90’s alternative rock band and should not be overlooked.

Push and Silver are the two big hits on this album and will rock anyone who is a fan of 1990’s alternative buzz band rock but check out Into Everything for a slower paced rocker this album won’t disappoint.
