Be Here Now

A massive, overstuffed monument to 90s excess. Drenched in feedback and swagger, it is the loudest, most unapologetic stadium rock ever committed to tape.

August 21, 1997 · Sony Music Labels Inc.

A dizzying, hyper-saturated monument to excess dominates this third outing, where every arrangement is pushed to its absolute physical limit. The songs are stretched into sprawling, multi-layered epics, buried beneath dozens of overdubbed guitar tracks and a relentless, shimmering haze of distortion. It is the sound of a band operating with an absolute refusal to edit themselves, turning their massive cultural momentum into a towering, deafening victory lap.

Moments Worth Listening For
02My Big MouthThe sheer density of the mix reaches a peak on 'My Big Mouth', which reportedly features dozens of layered rhythm guitar tracks.
04All Around the WorldAn ambitious, nine-minute orchestral arrangement on 'All Around the World' represents the band's most maximalist and longest studio recording to date.
06All Around the World (reprise)The album features a brief, instrumental 'All Around the World (reprise)' that serves as a brass-heavy, psychedelic wind-down to the record.
