Aviv Geffen's second album, 1993's Achshav Meunan, is a snapshot of a generation's dissatisfaction—one that still resonates today. In turns dissonant and pretty, Geffen's lyrics focus on his inner turmoil and Israel's socio-political failings. Songs like "Al Tidag" pair jangly guitar verses with blazing, jagged choruses, elsewhere veering into dark piano balladry and smoky, poetic pop-rock. It's a sprawling, diverse album; one that foreshadowed his impact on the youth of the '90s—and of today.
