Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally intended to be Anna Waronker's solo debut before Geffen requested it be released under the band's moniker, this polished, highly infectious album became the group's swan song. Featuring incredibly tight, Beach Boys-inspired vocal harmonies over crunchy power-pop guitars, the record stands as an underrated gem of late-90s alternative rock.
