Meh, it was okay. The single was the only song I knew, and was the highlight of the album. Best part though was, when it finished, Apple Music assumed I then wanted to listen to Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam, which I did.

I knew the name, but never cared to listen to them (too many things to listen to and it's already hard to catch up with new releases to lose too much time in oldies). I was expecting... more? better? They have a stellar reputation, I guess I can understand what makes them interesting when it came out but... Farell's voice is pretty annoying, Navarro is shredding too much for the genre, and it sometimes lacks coherence. The slower/quieter songs are better. This is OK, but far for memorable.
Usually with these albums, I listen to them and then have a look at the accompanying Wiki page. In this case, I read about them first and apparently they nearly split up in a dispute about royalties before they’d even recorded the album, with lead singer Perry Farrell claiming 50% of the rights with another 12.5% on top for the music. The band disagreed. That’s probably the most interesting thing about this generally unremarkable 80s alt rock album. YMMV.
