Seam: The Problem With Me (favorite albums of all time, pt. 12)
When I broke up with my girlfriend in 1995 and fell in love with someone else, I needed a soundtrack for driving around late at night feeling elated/sorry for myself/whatever. Because it’s downbeat and beautiful and lonely, but still driving and melodic, that void was filled by Seam’s Am I Driving You Crazy, but that’s not my favorite Seam album.

Seam: “Something’s Burning”
In honor of thanksgiving or something, I give you one of the first songs I ever heard from one of the most underrated guitar rock bands of the early 90s. If this were a kinder, fairer world, Seam‘s The Problem with Me and Are You Driving Me Crazy? would be heralded as two of the most tuneful, exciting, vital rock records ever made, but it’s not, which is also why Brokencyde exist.
Anyway, this isn’t necesarrily my favorite Seam song, but it’s hard to find a bad spot on either of those two records, so a dart should be good enough to pick one.
