i have owned this cd numerous times. it is no wonder to me that it has actually been stolen 3 or 4 times from my catalog. as upset as i am that it disappeared all those times, who can blame someone for frothing at the mouth for this piece of musical euphoric release. since '96, stolen 4 times, and now i have to get it again, as i will continue to if i need to. this cd is that good and important. i used to stay up til all hours of the night to watch the stars video on alternative nation on mtv, as it was a staple in the later night show's line-up. i don't care what mood you're in, or how long it has been since you have heard it, this cd will never lose its draw and will continue to mean something to everyone who cares to give themselves to it, i promise...
