Blind Melon - Soup

180-gram gatefold LP

Includes 4-page booklet with lyrics

Includes "Galaxie," "Skinned" and "New Life"

Ranked No. 357 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time

Soup is the second studio album by American rock band Blind Melon, released eight weeks before vocalist Shannon Hoon's fatal drug overdose. The album proved to be a challenging, gripping record that is just as strong and perhaps even more rewarding than their debut album.

"2 X 4" is about Hoon's experience at a drug detox, "Galaxie" is about Hoon's experience with his car, a 1964 Ford Galaxie and "Skinned" is about serial killer Ed Gein.

The producer of the album, Andy Wallace, is seen on the cover, sipping soup.

In 2005, Soup was ranked No. 357 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time. This album is now available as a limited edition of 3,000 numbered copies on yellow vinyl. The records are housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket with the original 4-page "Menu" booklet.
