Wow, that is a major smack at REM and Pearl Jam. I totally agree as far as Counting Crows goes.

All those REM critics who say that everything they did after their first couple albums was junk?

This song could almost convince me they have a point.

That is without a doubt the last thing I expected to read here. I think I always played this album with a sense of anticipation for when it got 'round to this song. An absolute favorite from their whole catalog of songs, at least for me. I think you and your friends were missing out.

Good album, but my favorite song from it was always "Superman".

They truly were alternative. A real breath of fresh air back then.
