AllMusic[3]

Fumble is the fifth studio album by American hardcore band Scream.[4][5][6] It was recorded in December 1989 at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia, and released in July 1993 through Dischord. It is notable for showcasing the band's expansion in style, towards a more post-hardcore sound.[citation needed]

Dave Grohl played drums on the album.[7] He took a lead vocal on one track and helped to write others.[8][9][10]

Critical reception

[edit]

Newsday praised Grohl's drumming on the album, writing that it "has that baseball-bats-against-tree-trunks quality that [he] would make so distinctive in Nirvana."[11]
