"Ok, I know what you're thinking, but if this wasn't Oasis' 3rd effort it would have received much better press and been hailed as a classic. Who else can claim their career low sounds this good?"
"The fact that most people haven't even heard of this speaks volumes about its press. Creep, Thinking About you, Yorke at his genius, angst-ridden best! A true guitar-pop classic."
"Single-handedly poving music doesn't have to be angsty and introspective to be worthwhile. A genuine sunshine album sadly overlooked in "classic brit-pop" discussions. Feel good brilliance."
"Too often dogged by the mantra "Nevermind was better". Whilst i prefer Nevermind theres some dark and cynical genius that makes it hard to distinguish which was better."
"Too quickly dismissed as a poor mans Oasis the phonics have always struggled with the music press. It may be lyrically weak, but this is an anthemic album that harks back to the glorious mid-90's"
"How these guys weren't hyped more by the "rock-revivalist" press is beyond me. Too often overlooked this is a towering album that makes it seem like 1997 never happened!"
"True, its not laden with 'classics' like The Joshua Tree is, but this is in my opinion the best album they ever made. Tragically it is always placed (well) behind The Joshua Tree is any poll."
"Its criminal that most people have never heard this album. If you are one of these people go listen to it. Now. A beautiful, melodic, introspective work. It could make a breeze-block cry."
"Ok, so I know it is universally loved, but how often does it turn up in lists of the greatest albums? This is still the definitive americana-punk album, Sum 41, New Found Glory et al shud take notes."
"A good double that would have been a truly great single? Maybe, but this should not take away from the fact that this is The Beatles finest hour, one of rock musics greatest ever products. Awesome."
