Great first half. I enjoy the more ballad like songs from this one. Simple music, great vocal delivery
Very good 90s alt-rock, a pleasant surprise.
I couldn't tell what this was, country? Rock? Country rock? Anyway it was shit
Forgettable
- distinctive strong sound. kinda sad this is the first time I've come across it. - Like a mature Killers - So glad to have this suggested.
Dad rock
Way too soft for my taste.
First listen for me, some great moments of falsetto singing. The Shining hour is my favourite track.
Solid album. I like the vocals. This is one of those 90s alternative bands that flew under the radar. Quite a nice find.
I was hoping this would be more than just your standard 90s alt/indie rock. There are occasional glimmers with the ragtime piano on the first and 8th track and some interesting 12-string guitar sounds, but that's about it. Not saying it's bad, but just a bit too safe to stand out.
I didn't expect to enjoy a country album
Feels like it is missing something, a little too country.
Ok stary rock
Inoffensive but uninspiring
Awful
Not bad, like a less interesting Frank Black
Nice! Enjoyable rock and Americana. Better than The Band? Not sure. Favorite was Dixie Drug Store.
not bad, but didn't really stand out to me
OK
Is this album racist? It felt a little racist
Felt like clean grunge if that makes any sense. Back to back with Nirvana was an unfair comparison. It was ok.
Meh
Fuzzy is a perfectly serviceable album, very much of its time with its distinctive early 90s alt.rock vibe and sound. I found it enjoyable enough, but it didn't blow me away.
I actually enjoyed this album more than I thought I would. Got some Bowie vibes but alt rock 90s. Apparently they influenced others even thought they never really blew up.
Decent but kind of generic
YIL about emo-country. Loved it!
Anthemic Americana. Tutti ubriachi a cantare le sue canzoni al concerto piangendo ricordando gli anni 90. Carino, nulla di piu`.
Liked it
Iskreno nisam imao nešta vremena ga preslušati detaljno, no ovo što sam čuo, nije baš nešta iskreno posebno, ne da je loše, nego jednostavno mi se baš nije toliko ni slušao album, nije me zadržao da budem željan slušanja. Iako je Michael Stipe iz grupe R.E.M. rekao da je ovo najbolji album 1993, ne bi se sigurno s njim složio, a zbog toga sam i dobio želju da ga poslušam. Okej su pjesme, međutim ne dira me previše.
I don't get why this is here
Ended up enjoying this album far more than I expected. Had never heard of Grant Lee Buffalo, but may start listening to his music regularly.

Really fun album
3/5
Fantastic album
Did not like. Just seems like a mishmash of Bowie, Neil Young, or Pixies tribute songs.
Rock de guitarras noventeras, como si fueran unos Wilco primigenios. Muy escuchable.
Música country / pop con toques Folk. Entona bien. Tiene un toque British pop.
Meh
Noooooope
Not a fan
Pretty middle of the road for this genre wasn't bad but equally not interesting.
I liked this, pleasant 90's sounding American rock
This will be a grower. I like this.
Meh
Deece
Keen to listen to this again as I had it on in the background whilst having dinner and it pricked my ears a few times. REM and Pearl Jam vibes, but maybe a bit more acousticy? Could be a 2, could be a 4.
Nice enough music, don't really get what makes it a "1001" album though. 5/10
Listened to it whilst doing some housework and enjoyed. Nothing stood out massively but sometimes that isn't a bad thing.
Good background working music. Will go backs
I didn’t want to like it, but I just did.
Magnifico
Ok. Like a weaker Jeff Buckley
Chill
Alternative rock with a great sense of melody. A catchy album which is also a relevant indie rock effort.
Kein Begriff von diesem Grant Lee Buffalo gehabt; kommt schmissig und locker aus der Umkleide, spielt ein geradlinigen Ball, mit viel Druck und wenig Spirenzchen. Ein schönes Spiel, robust aber immer sauber. Class of 93 wusste noch, worauf es ankam. Das Album wirkt auf mich zudem wie die Blaupause zum Stilgepräge, wonach Jonathan Franzen die Figur des Richard Katz („Freedom“) zusammenbaute. Irgendwie altbacken, grobschrötig und doch mit der psychologischen Sensibilität eines Kindes jener Zeit beschlagen. Handwerklich sehr gut, teils virtuos, ironiefreie Haltung, persönlich, und ja sorry fürs Wort: glaubwürdig. Crafty 3.8
Der erste Song, „The Shining Hour“, ließ mich eine Augenbraue heben: hatte sich da jemand im Jahrzehnt vertan? War 10 Jahre zu früh dran und kämpfte nun in Amerika allein gegen Pathos und Wucht von (Post-) Grunge überall um ihn herum? Naja, relativierte sich dann ja bisschen über die Langstrecke, aber ein bisschen anders ist das schon. Nächster wirklich aufgefallener Song dann erst das schön garagig shoegazende „Grace“ fast zum Schluss - positiv aufgefallen natürlich. Insgesamt: war nett, Sie kennengelernt zu haben! 2,9
Just boring
“Fuzzy” by Grant Lee Buffalo (1993) Never heard of this album or this group. Some innovative instrumentation, but the drums and bass lack the creativity that is evident in guitar and keyboards. Virtually no lead guitar, nearly all acoustic strumming, done competently enough, but it’s monotonous by the end of the album. Melodies are uninspired, necessitated by Lee’s limited vocal range. The lyrics on this album are needlessly opaque. The only interesting cut is the 17-verse “Dixie Drug Store” which tells a coherent story with a not entirely unpredictable twist. But it lacks soul. This entire album barely skims the surface of emotion. We could all pass on this one. 1/5
Me ha encantado. No lo concía. Un 5. Es como indie rock.
A refutable flagon of tracks, pretty good listen
It was alright, but never really hooked me. I’ve learned through this album generator that I really don’t care for 90s alternative, but I at least don’t hate it
Another in a line of fine albums from the 90s
Dull and long
can't stand the Gilmore girl town troubadour
Meh
I qquite enjoyed this album. I was initially sceptical but am now a convert
Never heard of this. Like the 90s alt rock sound, nick drak vibes, americana, like his vocals. There were even some Black Francis vibes, like on "Grace". Mildly forgettable, like a lot of music from the 90s alternative rock era.
Sort of like it, but sounds like a U2 tribute band who could do better.
leggero
6.3
It was alright, not necessarily my taste.
Early 90z fuzz-rock, mmmbop. He's got Janes Addiction vibes kinda, but more on the heroin side than cocaine. So I guess that's marcy Playground...
Awesome probably best album so far
Average americana
Not outstanding in anyway. Definitely an album that makes me not want to listen to the list for a few days
More of a 3.5 but I can't do half stars.
The way he sings reminds me of Orville Peck a bit. The music has a cool tone, but nothing really attention grabbing for me.
Not bad, but seemingly too close to U2
damn good first part, a bit indie in others, solid debut
The Shining Hour is such a good opening track, but the rest of the album never really lives up to that greatness in my opinion.
I like this album, it reminds me of a folk version of Pixies.
Meh. This album was alright, but nothing special for me. I would probably listen to it again, but wouldn't recognize the artist as distinctive. I'm not sure if that makes it 2 or 3 stars, but I'll default to 3.
- American Rock
HHHHHHEEEHH S'ROCK!!
What a gem. So glad I now know about this guy
Music was there, just not my taste
Much better than I remembered.
This is like grunge-y rock and roll goodness. Had some bangers on it.
Very interesting and 'easy on the ear' album, like vocal a lot too
Very pleasant. Very interesting. Beautiful voice. Nice compositions. Just tired me a wee bit towards the end. 7/10
Pretty good, but not perfect
Liked. Very 90s.
it's aight.
Potentially a great album. Need to listen some more though.... fuzzy intro is very some might say!
