I can see that it’s an of its time album but it was great at that time. I remember in 2002 having not listened to it in years, driving back from York in the middle of the night and keeping myself awake on the M42 at 2am singing along to every song at full volume. great time. Still spin it from time to time, although I mess the words up more these days.

Sounds like you’ve delved quite far there already Gimli son of Gloin

How so?

Steve Coogan & Rob Brydon liked it on ‘The Trip to Italy’.

All about the delving, me.

I’d definitely have it in my top 5 Alanis Morissette albums.

Beats by Hawkins (not Jim).

IIRC Grohl said he wanted to ‘rescue’ this obviously great drummer from just playing standard beats, let him flourish among the Foos.

I still like JLP and a handful of songs from Under Rug Swept.

I’m not sure I could ever listen to it in full again. You Oughta Know is still a pretty decent tune, as are One Hand In My Pocket and You Learn. Ironic will never stop being a complete travesty, though.

Yeeeeah… but it takes me back to a place and time (1996, summer) more strongly than most songs do. I dunno - I like hearing it from time to time.

Don’t know why but I ended up on Alanis’s instagram page a while back. Looks like she has a nice life and is very happy. Fair play to that.

Knew/kinda liked all the singles in the 90’s but never listened to the album. Saw her headlining at some Waitrose-esque festival this summer so fired it up in its entirety - don’t feel like I missed out on any deep cuts.

Great hooks, awful 90s production, parental guidance sticker… C+

good album. great memories

this and Breakfast at Tiffanys, probably one of the very few summers i’ve ever enjoyed and so will always get nice nostalgia from them.

#38

i’d say the same about One Hand but it always my favourite

Yeah funny thing music ain’t it - Breakfast at Tiffany’s is like nails down a blackboard for me!

I’m pretty sure Hawkins didn’t play on the album but did play on the tour.

#41

The start of ‘You Learn’ sounds awful with that crappy R&B type production.

#42

Couldn’t stand the singles then, still can’t stand them. I’m never going to listen to this album. It’s not for me.

Flinch is brilliant.

Aye - the first 5 tracks are good in my book.
