The original version of Kryptonite by Three Doors Down. And, waybetter. Water's Edge is a great rock tune. I always appreciated the vocal nuance of Jason Ross to go from fluttery concern to sandpaper grit rock. It's on display immediately on track 1 of American Standard. And there's the building feedback of any good 90s pre-chorus. Fairly steep min...
The Hit! Cumbersome is three chord (almost) power rock. It probably paved the way for Nickelback's commercial success, so that sucks. Oh well. Any kid growing up in the 90s knows the lyrics, "I have become Cumbersome to this world"
Roderigo's lyrical content is a lot darker than its music. Being tied, beaten down, all things to be found here. Musically, Roderigo sounds a lot like Green Apple Quick Step's TV Girl (Reloaded).
Jesuits in tanks? Where is this album headed!? Like any good album in the 90s, the verse chimes along, undistorted. Then the feedback ratchets up in volume as the drums build toward the chorus. Then Everyone steps on their Boss distortion pedals and we have a chorus. Is Devil Boy formulaic? Maybe. Still, it makes for decent rock songwriting.
My My breaks down the formula, shifting quickly into reverse, taking a page out of Throwing Copper and A Boy Named Goo's book by using this technique to strong effect. It's a fair comparison to say that Seven Mary Three was influenced by Live. Live singer, Ed Kowalczyk pulled Ross and a buddy up on a stage at a Live concert in Tampa in 1991. Then t...
Seven Mary Three cuts the power on track 6, leaving frontman Jason Ross alone to confront feelings of race and belonging. Ross builds the raw power of Lame with only an acoustic guitar and his voice, adding progressively harder strums, and a mounting vocal pressure. Find a more emotionally expressive song on American Standard. You can't. Lame is an...
Nice 90s drum and bass groove intro. 7M3 gets accused of being a Pearl Jamknockoff, and I can see it a bit on Headstrong, but this song is rather authentic to me. Love the do-over at the 3:00 minute mark. Casey Daniel's bass is locked in on Headstrong. It just wouldn't be a 90s rock tune without the feedback.
Southern 90s Alt Rock. Anything is Seven Mary Three's answer to the Spin Doctor's Two Princes, a story about a girl whose Daddy wants her to marry a rich man, and not some long haired singer in a dirty rock & roll band. Maybe it was about a girl named Margaret?
Margaret is not quite a 90s alternative rock song. The guitar and bass remind me of Virginia Coalition, another Virginia band who hit the scene a few years later. Ultimately a song about a girl who was way too young.
Punch In Punch Out goes full A Capella. Wow! Then Giti Khalsa gives us a military march that we didn't know we needed. I'm half expecting 7M3 to bust into Paul Simon's Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes. Really diverse songwriting across American Standard.

Seven Mary Three are a microcosm of the era. The majority of their records suck so intensely hard they now deservedly revel in formidable obscurity despite being massive from 1995-1996. Despite the onslaught of unlistenable drivel emanating from their discography, their debut, “American Standard,” pretty much rules.
