10 Grunge Albums That Deserve More Love

A band forgotten mostly to time and genuinely unable to escape the 1990s unscathed, Babes in Toyland were a magnificent trio that can probably be considered the most visceral, primal and malevolent sounding all-female group in the entirety of the grunge genre. Though they've had a variety of different members, the sublime lineup on their second album - Fontanelle - was when every aspect was as convincing as it was cohesive.

Their opening song, which was also the second single, immediately kicks the door frame off the wall, eviscerating the door and its hinges completely as the combination of singing and screaming instantly tells you words won't be minced and punches won't be pulled throughout the experience. Their other single, the unhinged Handsome and Juliet, alludes to a title from perhaps a Britney Spears album. Except, in this rendition, it's a lot more masochistic than it is Mickey Mouse club.

The exceptional album also has a plethora of hits that shouldn't be forgotten, but were soon after. Such as the capriciously melodic Blood, the vocal shredding Won't Tell, the sole instrumental of Quiet Room and the cleverly named Realeyes.

Unfortunately, they only went on a downward spiral from here on out. But, let's not focus on that. Let's be thankful that they blessed with us with one of the most demonic sounding LP's in alternative rock music history, and one that still to this day makes you want to stage dive into a minefield while disregarding the consequences.
