Purple is an album showcasing a band hitting its stride. Considerably more mainstream than their peers, time has proven that that's their primary charm, since they were unafraid to temper their grunge with big arena hooks and swirling melodies. It works particularly well on the tight, concise 'Vasoline' and the acoustic-based 'Pretty Penny,' but it really shines on the record's two masterpieces, 'Big Empty' and 'Interstate Love Song.'
