August 20 street date. NON-RETURNABLE. When they released their first album in 1989, the Boston-based trio Buffalo Tom were written off as Dinosaur Jr. junior. Over time, Buffalo Tom stripped away their grungier influences and developed into a straight-ahead rock group of the early ’90s, capable of throttling rockers and beautiful ballads. They began to develop their own style with their second album, 1990’s "Birdbrain", which featured a noticeable improvement in songwriting. In 1992, Buffalo Tom released "Let Me Come Over", a gritty set of driving rock and achingly melancholy ballads; several of its tracks became alternative radio staples, including the gorgeous ballad "Taillights Fade.' 1993’s "Big Red Letter Day", featured a more polished, radio-ready production, but the album received only a small push from radio and MTV. The group returned in the summer of 1995 with "Sleepy Eyed", a return to the more direct sound of "Let Me Come Over", following it with "Smitten" in 1998 before taking a decade long hiatus.
