Candlebox rode the
alternative bandwagon to the top of the charts with their self-titled debut album. Taking the heaviest moments of
Soundgarden and
Alice in Chains and adding both the confinements of a
pop song and the attitude of
album rock,
Candlebox managed to sell over two million copies of their first album. Nothing on
Candlebox is particularly catchy -- the singles
"You" and
"Far Behind" are the closest they come to memorable melodies -- but there is enough sheer riff power to satisfy fans of their singles.
