Home is the second studio album by the American band Deep Blue Something.[1] It was released by RainMaker Records in 1994, and rereleased on Interscope in 1995.[2] The band supported the album by touring with Duran Duran.[3]
The songs were written and sung by the Pipes brothers.
Trouser Press wrote: "Bringing the brain-dead grandiosity of late-'70s harmony-rockers like Styx and Supertramp to the modern world, Deep Blue Something ... combines big acoustic/electric strumming and airy, melodramatic singing into a resoundingly hollow album unimproved by its good intentions."[4] The Washington Post stated: "A folk-rock band that frequently attacks its material with hard-rock vehemence, Deep Blue Something is the latest Southern combo to mate R.E.M. with '70s mainstream rock."[5]
The Austin Chronicle awarded the album zero stars (out of five), deeming it "lame," and its hit single "safely stupid." The Philadelphia Inquirer called Home "a melodic amalgamation of kicky power pop, hair-in-your-face shoe-gazer drone, and neo-progressive '70s guitar rock, all infused with punk energy, sly optimism, and plenty of jangly guitars."[6]
AllMusic praised the "power-pop sound straight out of late-'70s/early-'80s Great Britain."
All songs written by Todd Pipes, except where noted.
