Amazing Disgrace, the Posies' fourth album, came out in 1996, and it turned out to be their last for DGC. Nick Launay produced, and a familiar story played out again: the label heard the tapes and sent the Seattle band back into the studio to cut something more like a hit. Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow, the songwriting pair who had started the band in Bellingham back in 1986, answered with a record that bites, with Brian Young in the lineup.
The Merseybeat and Hollies harmonies still shine, but they're wrapped around spiteful thoughts, a pairing the Washington Post found thoroughly modern; Trouser Press called it sour but delicious, while Robert Christgau shrugged that it was no Beatles or Big Star. Cheap Trick's Robin Zander and Rick Nielsen drop in on "Hate Song". "Please Return It" is the one the countdowns kept. Success came next.
