Anti’s 1993 release, *These Times*, finds The Dream Syndicate at the height of their paisley underground phase. A hazy, reverb-drenched swirl of guitars and Mark Opal’s distinctive vocals, the album showcases their signature blend of psychedelic rock and pop sensibilities—a sound that resonated with bands like Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth. Recorded with a spacious, almost dreamlike quality, *These Times* remains a cornerstone of the 90s alternative scene.
