AllMusic

Fumble is the fifth studio album by American hardcore band Scream. It was recorded in December 1989 at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia, and released in July 1993 through Dischord. It is notable for showcasing the band's expansion in style, towards a more post-hardcore sound.

Dave Grohl played drums on the album. He took a lead vocal on one track and helped to write others.

Critical reception

Newsday praised Grohl's drumming on the album, writing that it "has that baseball-bats-against-tree-trunks quality that would make so distinctive in Nirvana."
