Album Notes & Community Reviews

The acclaimed power-pop songwriter delivered his third consecutive alternative rock triumph, propelled heavily by the hit single 'Sick of Myself'. Teaming up with producer Brendan O'Brien and featuring virtuosic lead guitar work from Richard Lloyd, the remarkably polished recording balances massive, radio-ready pop hooks with deeply personal, slightly cynical lyricism. The incredibly consistent, highly melodic release cemented his status as a defining architect of 1990s American power pop.
