About

So Much for the Afterglow is the third studio album by American alternative rock band Everclear, released on October 7, 1997 through Capitol Records. It contained the singles "Everything to Everyone", "I Will Buy You a New Life", "Father of Mine", "So Much for the Afterglow", and "One Hit Wonder". "Everything to Everyone", "I Will Buy You A New Life" and "Father of Mine," received heavy rotation on MTV's Total Request Live and launched Everclear into mainstream popularity in the late-90s. So Much for the Afterglow provided Everclear with their only Grammy nomination to date, a Best Rock Instrumental nod in 1998 for "El Distorto de Melodica." So Much for the Afterglow remains Everclear's best selling album with a 2x Platinum certification by the RIAA in 1998. In January 2016 independent record label Intervention Records released 20th anniversary vinyl reissue of So Much for the Afterglow. The reissue was the first time that the album was mastered using high-resolution archives and was pressed on 180-gram vinyl at record pressing plant RTI then packaged in a gate-fold jacket that was printed at Stoughton Printing Company.
