about

After returning from a hellacious summer tour, the Hated returned to Annapolis in the fall of 1988 to regroup and reconsider their future. Great strides had been made sonically too, as the band transitioned from their D.C. hardcore roots to a sound all their own. “We continued to dwell on characteristically dark and esoteric subjects,” guitarist Erik Fisher said, “linking the personal to the political, and the mundane to the theological—our songwriting was also becoming more poignant and exposed.” EverySong is what spilled out.

Original Hated bassist Colin Meeder had rejoined the fold, and they began tracking the seven-song album at Les Lentz’s L.S.P. Studio in December. “There’s a touch of levity, such as in the explosive energy of ‘Anonymous’ or the melodious freedom of ‘Someone,’ which together bookend the album,” Fisher said. The Hated stuffed every idea they had into what would be their last released album, with drummer Kenny Hill adding a hammered dulcimer to Dan Littleton’s crisp, acoustic picking. When all was said and done they’d created emo’s first album masterpiece.

“We were not a disciplined gang or cult, but somehow we ended up a monster band,” Meeder said.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

Stratosphere

To me, this album is the auditory experience of liminal space. Nostalgic, spacey and melancholic. Stratosphere creates an atmosphere like very few albums and artists can. colek_WM
