We all laugh and mock this album for having been deemed as better than "Nevermind" by SPIN magazine in 1991, but looking back now... we were total morons.
There's an alternate universe where the Fannies outshined the grunge scene, and post-grunge never happened. That would've meant no Creed, no The Calling, no BUSH... we missed out. Oh well, at least the indie scene still benefited from mister Kurt Cocaine's works of art, so I guess the growth of the PNW underground scene caused by nirvana's breakout outweighs the negatives brought by the later inceptions of grunge.
Still, maybe that other future might've been nicer. A Fannie-filled future where Columbine probably didn't happen, since power-pop is too gleeful for edgelords who listen to the radio. Probably not though.
Oh yeah also this album is the *** and you should listen to it!
