I still put Dirt and self-titled over this; partially just because those have more material and the material is of mostly equal caliber.



If every song here were as good as Rotten Apple and Nutshell, then it would be a different story.

If every song were as good as those two this would be the greatest thing ever put to tape



Tho I’d argue Don’t Follow is on that level

It’s like Facelift…..some truly elite 10/10 songs and then some meh. But the songs that are great are so great who cares. 5.

I think more like spooky, evil, etc when I hear dark. I'd call those songs sad, but yeah I get it. Either way classic album heck yeah.

I suppose melancholy would have been a better word.



Would?

He liked it a lot. I showed him some Dirt too. He's not a grunge person. I think I converted him.

Really threw his ass in the deep end



And I don’t really think there’s any misses here. Swing On This is the worst by a mile and even that’s still pretty good. Everything before is goddamn flawless

Yes arguably perhaps the best opening one two punch on any album ever.



But yeah, I agree there are no misses. Don’t Follow is up there. I Stay Away is solid but, I dunno…I’ve never loved it, even when it was released as the single off this.

No Excuses is also a 5/5



I think both Swing on This and I Stay Away suffer from an unnecessary heavy bit (chorus for one, pre-chorus for the other)
