Anchored by the massive crossover hit 'A Girl Like You', this third full-length album finds the New Jersey rock quartet at their absolute commercial peak. The record seamlessly blends crunchy, Beatles-esque power-pop melodies with heavily distorted, grunge-anticipating guitar riffs and driving rhythms. Its flawless balance of muscular alternative rock and pristine pop songwriting heavily impacted the impending 1990s radio landscape.
