    Seam: the Problem with Me(I’m counting down (or up – I’m not sure yet) my favorite albums of all time. I’m not sure how long this will take or how often I’ll write one. But this is Part 12. Other posts are linked here.)

    Seam: The Problem With MeIn 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.
