Visions of Excess
Visions of Excess is the second album by the Golden Palominos. The band's line-up was substantially different from their first album. It includes a cover of Moby Grape's "Omaha", with Michael Stipe singing lead.
Critical reception
Trouser Press called Visions of Excess "a brilliant neo-pop album of tuneful, lyrical songs." John Leland at Spin wrote, "The generally stellar accompaniment occasionally gets buried in the blustery mix. But more often, it gets subsumed in songwriting that is sometimes just adequate.Track listing
