no, its not. 1 good song, 1 song that is good live, and a bunch of snoozers.

a mix tape if i ever heard one.

My least favoite PJ album. Haven't listened to it straight through in about 2 years.

go - good opener
animal - snooze
daughter - hate Ed's voice
glorified g - are you serious?
dissident - one of their worst
wma - great bass, good song
blood - spotty
rearviewmirror - awesome
rats - good
elderly woman - boring
leash - what's the big deal?
indifference - great

Overall, I'm not a fan of Ed's voice on this album and I don't really feel it has a direction of flow. Maybe if I was a fan when it came out I would feel differently, but I just feel that it is dated and lags far behind their other work.

go - slightly edges Last Exit for best opener/also tied for my favorite on album with blood.
animal - awesome
daughter - awesome live with a good tag
glorified g - no desire to ever hear this one
dissident - almost the same as glorified g. it's 1% better
wma - awesome song, Dave A shines here
blood - awesome. awesome. tied for favorite on album with go
rearviewmirror - awesome.
rats - awesome
elderly woman - love it live.
leash - awesome, would live to hear it live, but not before No Way
indifference - absolute masterpiece

I listened to this one today. Powerful album.

I still the remember when this was released. I've never seen an album create a buzz the way this one did in the time just before and just after it's release. People say releasing 'Black' as a single would have propelled them higher. I say not as high as this album did.

you were alive back then :wink:

Black was supposed to be the 5th single. For some reason they didn't release it. It goes for big $$ on ebay.

Every rock station plays it now.

this and riot act are the only PJ albums I can't listen to all the way through. also it's probably PJ's worst flowing album.

go - pretty solid opener
animal - mediocre rocker
daughter - pretty good, but better live
glorified g - fun live, has no place on an album
dissident - awful
wma - good song
blood - ok live, not so good on the album
rearviewmirror - awesome, but much better live
rats - musically it's pretty good but lyrically it falls flat
elderly woman - pretty good, but better live
leash - awful
indifference - awesome, but better live
