The love I have for the Holy Bible exists because of what it was, an extremely dark broken album for dark painful days... The follow up to that album was this, only one year later and without a key member of the band. This is much more poppy, upbeat and fits perfectly into the alterna-pop echelon of the mid 90's, but it is no Holy Bible... Perhaps, it should be noted that creating anything upbeat after the wild disappearance of a bandmate is an achievement in itself, but it's hard to find the relevancy of this album in 2024.
