One of those quirky alt-rock bands of the 90's (see Faith No More, Blind Melon...), Soul Coughing combined a multitude of musical backgrounds into one meandering sound. The band seemed to go through a different transition with each of their three recordings, and as this is my first taste of SC, I can't comment on where exactly this album fits in. Irresistible Bliss runs the gamit of jazz, soul, avant-garde and the traditional 90's alt-sound. Though this doesn't exactly make for easy listening, I think this is one of those bands that sticks with you once they manage to get under your skin.
