Last Words: The Final Recordings is the eighth and final studio album by the American rock band the Screaming Trees.[https://www.nme.com/news/screaming-trees/58029 Screaming Trees to release 'lost' album — NME] The album itself was recorded two years after their album Dust. Shortly after Dust was released, Epic Records decided to drop the band. However, in the years of 1998 and 1999, the band recorded the album in Pearl Jam's guitarist Stone Gossard's studio. Due to the band's break-up in 2000, and Mark Lanegan's refusal to perform with the band, the album wasn't released for twelve years until drummer Barrett Martin released it on his own label, Sunyata Records. The album received mixed reviews.[https://www.allmusic.com/album/last-words-the-final-recordings-mw0002200527 Last Words: The Final Recordings review — Allmusic][https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15680-last-words-the-final-recordings/ Last Words: The Final Recordings review — Pitchfork]{{Cite web |url=http://drownedinsound.com/releases/16441/reviews/4143365 |title=Last Words: The Final Recordings review — Drowned in Sound |access-date=2013-10-01 |archive-date=2012-11-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121106115325/http://drownedinsound.com/releases/16441/reviews/4143365 |url-status=dead }}
