Churn by Seven Mary Three

Churn, Seven Mary Three's debut, came out independently in 1994, the scrappy first step before the post-grunge band's major-label breakthrough, American Standard. Jason Ross, Jason Pollock, Casey Daniel and Giti Khalsa made it on their own, and it has the rough, unvarnished feel of a young band still working out how loud it wants to be: thick, churning guitars, a gruff lead vocal and choruses built to be shouted back.
It was a proving ground, too. Two of its songs were later recut and became some of the band's biggest singles, and "Cumbersome", with its slow-burning, brooding crawl, is the one the countdowns have held on to. The album was reissued years later with new artwork, and again online in December 2008.
