Neon Ballroom

Teenage frustration evolves into a more complex, orchestral approach on this 1999 record. The band moved away from their earlier grunge influences to utilize piano melodies and sweeping string arrangements that indicate a shift in emotional depth.

Production on the album reflects this change by exchanging distortion for cinematic textures. It shows the tension of a group attempting to move past their identity as child stars while addressing the expectations placed upon them by the alternative rock scene.
