I love this type of writing. Seriously. |

I agree with this. This album is one of those disks that is more than the sum of it's parts. |

I love this album too. It brings me back to the times of a private school full of rich and bored teenagers, sons of expats, who didn't know where is home, made and lost friends as families move around, wasted and depressed in the grunge years. It may sound shallow, but coming from a small countrytown to the city, in that period I learnt to challenge the stupid conservative mind of the small town, learnt of death and loss, solitude and friendship, and started my journey towards what I am today.

Their greatest album and most songs the songs on it I would give 9's and 10's - especially the deep cuts. |

I think this is a sincere, sweet song. I was never a huge fan of this band but I enjoy a lot of their tunes. I more appreciate the fact that a band with a technically "unorthodox" sound and approach could achieve a significant amount of attention and success. I believe music needs more of that instead of these "American Idol"-type robots. Well, just my opinion.

Speaking of rockin', Rocket and Cherub Rock are the two best tracks on this flawless CD. Come on now Bill, let's hear 'em. |
