Twenty-five years ago this Friday, alt rockers Toad the Wet Sprocket released Dulcinea, their fourth studio album. It was arguably the band's most successful album, reaching #34 on the Billboard album charts (though their next album, Coil, would hit #19) and going platinum in the U.S. (which their third album, fear, also did). Up until this album, they were kind of known (by me, anyway) for their slower ballads, like "All I Want" and "Walk On the Ocean." But Duclinea showed the world (or me, anyway) that they could also rock. Their first single off the album was "Fall Down," a saucy, dark rocker that just sounds like 1994, doesn't it? And I mean that in a completely positive way. It would be the band's third Top 40 hit in the U.S., hitting #33 on the Billboard Hot 100. The video is also totally 1994.
