''Spilt Milk'' was an album released on February 9th 1993 (see 1993 In Music ) by Jellyfish , a band that combined Queen -like Glam Rock with Beach Boys -like vocal Harmonies . Although, some influences are more obscure; the song "Russian Hill", for instance, is more than a little reminiscent of late folksinger Nick Drake's "River Man".

The album was recorded after frustrated guitarist ("Brighter Day") to Masturbation ("He's My Best Friend"). It has been noted that the album seems to be a Rock Opera , following the fall of a rock star.

The album contained the singles "The Ghost At Number One" (reached No. 9 on Billboard's Modern Rock Chart), "New Mistake" (which yielded a Japanese-only ten-song E.P.), "Joining A Fanclub" (covered ten years later by Puffy AmiYumi ) and "Bye, Bye, Bye" (which almost appeared on Bellybutton). "He's My Best Friend" later appeared in the 1994 comedy ''Threesome'' and on its soundtrack. There were promotional videos for "The Ghost At Number One" and "New Mistake".

Outtakes and B-Sides included "Family Tree", "Worthless Heart", "Watchin' The Rain" (a Beatnik Beatch song) and "Ignorance Is Bliss" (which appeared on Nintendo 's ''White Knuckle Scorin''' CD).

While this album appears to be a "rock opera", it seems that Christian themes crop out throughout it. I don't know if this album is an "ode to Jesus" (there are songs apparantly about joining the circus and about masterbation) but most Christian rock albums are usually diluted by their preachiness.
