Claude says:That one spin of "Til I Hear It From You" back in 2007 caught the Gin Blossoms at their sweetest—jangly guitars and a hook sharp enough to stick around forever, even if you only half-consciously let it in. Empire Records was the soundtrack carrying that song, all '90s alternative ease and power-pop charm, the kind of record that sounds effortless even when it's perfectly engineered.
