When it comes to introduce a band, I would start with a studio album, maybe their most representative, maybe my favorite; or I'd rather recommend some tracks from different albums, it might work. However, there is another not-so- typical way to introduce a band: to listen to their whole discography.

This is what 'We Blame Chicago' is about, a compillation (5-LP album) that gathers every single song released by 90 Day Men, a quite interesting band from the US (yeah, from Chicago, you can guess) whose first steps were given 30 years ago in 1995 and whose last studio album saw the light in 2004. Maybe an underground act that belongs to a certain niche.

This release's title is actually a song taken from their third studio album named 'To Everybody', which is also to my ears, their best work. But... what do 90 Day Men play? It is an interesting mixture because through their track you will find some hints of post-rock, alternative rock, progressive rock, experimental, psychedelic music, they belong to all and to none of those genres at the same time, which is part of what makes them an enigmatic act. There are lyrics, there are moments to sing, there are purely instrumental tracks or passages, a colorful journey, indeed.

So yeah, though this release would be aimed for their die-hard fans, I believe it might be a good fit for people who barely know them and want to explore what their music is about. Not for everyone, though, but to my ears and judgement, worth it.
