BLIND MELON: SOUP Second Studio Album (1995)

BLIND MELON: SOUP Album cover

Soup is the second studio album by Blind Melon, released on August 15, 1995, through Capitol Records. It is the band’s last album released during the lifetime of vocalist Shannon Hoon. Soup received generally mixed reviews from critics and fared poorly commercially, with the album only reaching number 28 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart and going on to sell 217,000 copies in the United States by October 1996. Hoon’s death from a fatal drug overdose two months after the album’s release resulted in the album’s promotion being abruptly cut off, further affecting sales. The album has retrospectively been considered a “dark horse” in the alternative rock genre. The producer of the album, Andy Wallace, is seen on the cover, sipping soup. The letters in the soup spell out Blind Melon.
