Concept[]

Fast Stories...from Kid Coma is loosely a concept album, about a comatose kid "reliving a past summer of grandeur."[6]

Critical reception[]

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."[3] 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."[7] Kerrang! wrote that Fast Stories...from Kid Coma "remains a genuinely vital album, and quite possibly the [grunge] genre’s swan song."[8] MTV called it "the great psychedelic hard rock rush of the year."[9]
