Released in 1995, Short Bus marked the explosive debut of Filter, the industrial rock project led by Richard Patrick, a former Nine Inch Nails guitarist. This Craft Recordings reissue brings the raw energy of the band's breakout album to vinyl with a high-quality black vinyl pressing. With its gritty textures and aggressive edge, Short Bus helped define a generation of post-grunge and industrial rock fans during the mid-'90s.
Musically, the album balances mechanical aggression with melodic introspection. "Hey Man Nice Shot" remains one of the era's most iconic alt-rock anthems, blending thunderous riffs with haunting vocals. Tracks like "Dose" and "Stuck in Here" dive into darker emotional territory, while "White Like That" and "It’s Over" highlight the band's experimental leanings. The record captures the tension between analog pain and digital dissonance—making it a standout in the genre's evolution.
This black vinyl edition from Craft Recordings offers a clean, faithful reproduction of the original mix. The LP delivers punchy basslines and dynamic separation, ensuring that the industrial instrumentation and feedback-soaked guitars retain their impact. Pressed with care and housed in its original-style packaging, Short Bus is a time capsule for fans of 1990s alternative rock.
