Cute beats, express yourself is fun, a lot of it is "cringe" (they're children trying to look like big boys!). I'm sure this would have been important to me if I was born 10 years earlier.

I'm bringing a lot of baggage to this, because the guitar tone reminds me so much of early 2000s guitar center line 6 amp drop d shredding. The harmonies are good, but I find them a little grating (which is weird, because I love X's grating harmonies). Again, this negative review is a me-problem.

This album inspired me to become a poli sci major. When I was 14 I made a choker made from an old white crew neck t-shirt collar on which I sharpied the words "economy is looking bad, time to start a war." It went well with my homemade iron-on "jail to the thief" anti-Bush patch.

The guitar tone is great. And Jonathan D gets a star for how endearing he was in the Woodstock 99 doc.
I'm super surprised I didn't get into them when it came out (I was 12, the perfect age for "naughty" music). There's a song where Jonathan and Fred Durst take turns calling each other faggots, which accurately summarizes the state of rock music in 1998.

Ah, back when soul, country, R&B, and rock 'n roll were basically the same thing! Felt more like a collection of singles than an album, but still a blast.
And man, those vocals! This guy probably destroyed some expensive studio microphones back in the day.

Jeff Buckley
Maybe it's because I listened to the definitive John Cale version of Hallelujah a million times, but I think Jeff took all the irony out of the song and he's responsible for the sappier versions throughout the years. The Cale version works because it's deliberately secular, the hallelujahs are reluctant, and he's stepping outside of the song to observe the torment/ecstasy. Or maybe I'm just a snob!
Some interesting proggy stuff in here! A couple neat guitar tricks from the pretty boy.
His playing/singing reminds me of when early-90s hair metal bands did a one-off acoustic number, like Mr. Big's "To Be With You" or Extreme's "More Than Words" or when Bon Jovi did... something. I'm sure Bon Jovi did an early 90s acoustic song.

The Who is a great band with some all-time great albums. This isn't... one you must listen to.
I can hear Pete dipping his toe into narrative/theatrical rock, but this is kinda a half-measure. It feels like a dry run for Tommy. The radio skits are not a good use of anybody's time.

It’s fun! I accidentally listened to the bonus tracks, which do wear out their welcome.
Being white and having “blues” in the band name (especially for purity testers on this website who are also white) gives this some weird cultural baggage.
Interesting that this came out during the 90s punk revival. And predated the 2000s distorted-vocal garage rock revival.
