Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following a string of massive, multi-platinum successes, the San Francisco rock outfit attempted to broaden their sonic palette with eclectic worldbeat and reggae influences. The album features a noticeably looser, more playful rhythmic approach, highlighted by the hit single 'Perfect World'. While critically appreciated for its musical expansion, it marked the beginning of their commercial decline from peak 1980s superstardom.
