Fans of Audio Adrenaline's first two projects were a little taken back upon hearing the band's
junior release Bloom in February, 1996. Their electronic-based pop sound was traded entirely
for a raw and honest rock sound that more appropriately represented the band's live performances
(and incidentally left keyboardist Bob Herdman with far less to do live and on the recordings).
From the opening fade-in guitar riff of the memorable rock anthem "Secret," to the fun and loose closer "Memoir,"
Bloom had taken the young band to the next level.
While Audio Adrenaline would prove to be best known for the infectious pop smash hit "Big House,"
it's hard to forget the almost as irresistably catchy "Never Gonna Be As Big As Jesus" or even
the lyrically simplistic - yet musically delectable - "I'm Not The King." Bloom was a brave
and risky album for the band that only proved to be an ultimately wise stylistic change. While
it may not be the band's most recognized effort, it's among their best, and a dang good 90's rock album.
