"Sweet Oblivion" is Screaming Trees' 6th full length album that was released on September 8, 1992. The recording was the band's highest landmark in terms of album sales, and was the closest they would come to ever achieving mainstream success. "Sweet Oblivion" managed to sell in excess of 300,000+ copies on the strength of "Nearly Lost You." The band's biggest hit, it benefitted from an appearance on the "Singles" soundtrack, a Top Ten, platinum-selling hit album which featured many other popular Seattle-based music acts from the time period.

Personnel changes around the time of the album also led to the replacing of original drummer Mark Pickerel, who left to pursue other musical interests, with Barrett Martin. Four years would pass in between "Sweet Oblivion" and the band's followup album, "Dust", a move that arguably hurt much of the Trees' commercial momentum.
