"...Influences from the '70s abound, from Shannon Hoon's sunny Steve Miller-style vocals to tempo shifts of Jethro Tull-ish trickiness and whole pastures for jamming, jamming and jamming. Aural tie-dye, Blind Melon offer (expert) pickin' and wide-eyed grinnin'...", "...Like Zeppelin at its most abstract, Blind Melon's guitar riffs morph from metal to blues to psychedelia.

When i heard No Rain i just had to buy it and well i was well impressed with my result.the album is great and is in the top of the rack along with Guns.N.Roses the lead singer of Blind Melon is in one of the videos "Don't Cry" so i just looked into Blind melon and got A great deal!
Favourite of mine in the nineties. Love the indie tones of the tracks and love to sing along! Brought back lots of good memories playing.Very distinctive sound to this album and my favourite is the popular "no rain" track.
