Album Of The Day: Candycoatedwaterdrops by Plumb

Album Art of Plumb's Candycoatedwaterdrops album - A photo of a dark-haired woman with a fitted tee and a leather jacket has four men behind her on the sides, half looking at the camera and half looking in other directions. They photo is black-and-white with the white parts being a gold-grey hue. Printed above the middle of the photo, to the left of the woman, is the band name in big, white letters. To the right of that, the album title in much smaller letter, with the letters 'coated' in a light blue.

Released 26 years ago yesterday, this is the second album from the band Plumb. In the late 1990s, Plumb was an alternative rock band and Tiffany Arbuckle was the lead singer and face of the band. This album, Candycoatedwaterdrops, is a bit more pop than their first album, and even gets a bit country at the end. Still, this album's sound is mostly rock with a good amount of electronic programming and it is Arbuckle's powerful vocals that anchors the music. Lyrically, Plumb talks about some darker topics with songs like "Phobic", "Damaged" and "Drugstore Jesus", but still weaves in the message of God's love and grace that was expected of most Christian rock. The whole album is good, but the first 3 tracks are some of the best songs ever released by Plumb, in my opinion. Tiffany Arbuckle has performed as a solo artist under the name Plumb for nearly 25 years now, and her sound has often been more subdued or pop/dance and much less rock in those years.
