Pony Express Record is a 1994 album by the Washington, D.C.-based post-hardcore group Shudder to Think. It was their first album to be recorded for Epic records. Although switching to a major label from the independent Dischord records shocked and alienated some fans of the group, Pony Express Record proved to be a challenging release, mixing musical styles as diverse as jazz, art-rock, folk and metal and it is also regarded as one of the most underrated albums of the 90s,[1], and has received considerable critical acclaim.[2][3] Pitchfork Media placed the album as #29 on their original 1999 issue of Top 100 Albums of the 90s.[4] ,[5]
