Alternative neo-psych rockers led by Steve Wynn who were arguably the best
in the early-'80s paisley underground scene. Dream Syndicate are at the foundation
(alongside the Velvet Underground, the Stooges, and R.E.M.) of contemporary alternative
music simply because at the time when most bands were experimenting
with new technology, the Syndicate deigned to bring back the guitar

Where The Days of Wine and Roses was a raw but passionate fusion of Highway 61-era Bob Dylan
and the Velvet Underground at their most primal, Medicine Show sounded big and polished,
but also dusty and weathered, with the terse, nose-thumbing lyrics of the debut replaced with dark,
complex narratives full of bad luck and bad blood backed with booming drums and roaring guitars
that were significantly more rockist than what Steve Wynn and Karl Precoda brought to their
earlier recordings. Viewed in the context of Wynn's career, Medicine Show marks the spot
where the lyrical themes and musical approach of his later work would first come into focus,
but it still doesn't bear much resemblance to what the Dream Syndicate would create
on their subsequent albums in its grand, doomy tone and obsessive
but curiously unobtrusive production style...(AllMusic)
