User review:[4/5 Stars]

This band was huge in Toronto for about six months in 1995. "GroovyDead", "Wake Me", and "Misogyny" were all over the radio here. They'renot the best written songs you'll ever hear, and the recording qualityis unbelievably bad, but there's something about the growl of theguitars and the voice that will really appeal to anyone fond of bandslike Failure, Nirvana, or early Foo Fighters. Few albums manage tocapture the energy of a live show as well as "Fluke".

Rusty also released two other albums; "Sophormoric" (how clever) in1997, and "Out Of Their Heads" in 1998. Each of the three albums soundlike different bands, but all are worth a listen. "Fluke", though, iseasily the best, simply for its raw emotional honesty and grittiness.

Give this album a try; for me, it really acts as the marker for the end of the "grunge" era.
