Fast Stories...from Kid Coma was released in the United States through Capitol/Revolution on June 20, 1995. [1] The album was released in Europe by Parlophone Records in February 1996, [8] following criticism from Kerrang! over its lack of availability in the UK in November 1995. [7] [9]
The Las Vegas Review-Journal wrote that the album "mixes hard rock with the atmospheric early '70s psychedelia of Pink Floyd." [10] MTV called it "the great psychedelic hard rock rush of the year." [11] 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." [12]
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." [6] Loudwire ranked the album at twenty-sixth in their list of "The 30 Best Grunge Albums of All Time". [13] Kerrang! wrote that Fast Stories...from Kid Coma "remains a genuinely vital album, and quite possibly the [grunge] genre’s swan song." [14] Louder Sound named the album in their list of "10 obscure but absolutely essential grunge albums". [15]
