Concept

Fast Stories...from Kid Coma is loosely a concept album, about a comatose kid "reliving a past summer of grandeur."[3]

Release and reception

Template:Music ratings Fast Stories...from Kid Coma was released in the United States through Capitol/Revolution on June 20, 1995.[3] The album was released in Europe by Parlophone Records in February 1996,[4] following criticism from Kerrang! over its lack of availability in the UK in November 1995.[5][6]

The Las Vegas Review-Journal wrote that the album "mixes hard rock with the atmospheric early '70s psychedelia of Pink Floyd."[7] MTV called it "the great psychedelic hard rock rush of the year."[8] Trouser Press wrote: "Heavy but never bludgeoning, melodic but never cheesy, excessive but never ridiculous, Fast Stories is an extended trip into several of rock’s outer dimensions."[9]

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "a hard-hitting, insistent record that occasionally overreached in its attempts to distance itself from its contemporaries."[10] Loudwire ranked the album at twenty-sixth in their list of "The 30 Best Grunge Albums of All Time".[11] Kerrang! wrote that Fast Stories...from Kid Coma "remains a genuinely vital album, and quite possibly the [grunge] genre’s swan song."[12] Louder Sound named the album in their list of "10 obscure but absolutely essential grunge albums".[13]
