In mid-1996, Dishwalla's "Counting Blue Cars" was one of the most overplayed songs of the summer. It was a melodic masterpiece of passion for radio fans and powerful in making the bandmembers into international superstars. And You Think You Know What Life's About (1998) didn't fare as well, but the band's third effort, Opaline, marks a return to form: heavy guitar work layered over J.R. Richards' heartily sweet vocals. It's definitely pop-friendly, and Dishwalla's approach to the album as a whole is carefree. Grainy acoustic guitars dance around spiritual salvation in songs like "Home" and "Somewhere in the Middle." "Mad Life" is equally impressive, but "Angels or Devils" is Opaline's brightest track. String arrangements build the stormy romance of the song, harking back to the idea that time heals all wounds. Dishwalla have a message. They're suckers for the perfect hook. Opaline is a decent ock record and fans should be pleased.
Dishwalla is an alternative rock band. The band's name comes from an Indian term for a person providing cable television to a neighborhood.The band members consists of Scot Alexander, Pete Maloney, J.R Richards, George Pendergest, Rodney Browning and Jim Wood. Rodney claimed the band took the name out of a Wired magazine article, according in a Vox interview.

The angels they burn inside for usAnd are we everAre we ever gonna learn to flyThe devils they burn inside of usAre we ever gonna come back downCome aroundI'm always gonna worry aboutThe things that could break us...I'm always gonna worry about theThings that could make us cold

While most people know Dishwalla's mid-90's hit "Counting Blue Cars" they made several more albums worth listening too. My favorite is Opaline. Each song just melts into the next. It's a bit softer than Pet Your Friends, Dishwalla's first CD. They are currently on hiatus but the lead singer, J.R. Richards is now recording a solo CD.
