Iconic and badass. Best album of 1990.

Kinda addictive..

I like Obvious (great bass) and Three Days is a great 10-minute song, but the rest of the album was fairly uninteresting, I struggled to get in to it.

Alternative metal hard rock alternative rock funk metal neo-psychedelia
Only heard this in 2019 - didn't know what to expect. But it is loud and brash, interesting and some killer tunes

Took a long time for this album to gel with me. Listened to it a bit when I first got it, didn't overly hit a cord with me, so it sat gathering dust. Ten years later, pulled it out. Now it's one of my all time favorite. Something must've clicked. 'Three Days' being the highlight but all songs following it are just serene joy. My, how one's tastes can obviously change. A masterpiece of the Alternative genre.

I've found myself very conflicted by this record. I really like the music, I think all of the instrumentalists in this band are super underrated, especially Dave Navarro. However, I'm not similarly enthusiastic about the vocals. There are multiple moments in each song where I find myself cringing at Perry Farrell's voice, especially at the beginning of Ain't No Right. He's not a good singer, whoever told him that he was was obviously playing some kind of cruel, cruel joke on him. But then I circle back around to the music, it's really great here. They're one of the pioneers of alternative metal, though they come off as more rock here than metal, and this was a jumping off point for many other 90s bands. I have to give them props for that.

As part of the Rock culture, Perry Farrell deserves a lot more recognition than the one he has. In a way, he impersonates what Alternative Rock was all about during the late 80s and early 90s.

And to me, with songs like Three Days or Stop, Ritual De Lo Habitual sums up his entire sound.

I have this album a 100 the hit songs come early and are great I don't talk bad about hit song because without them a band can't carry on anyway rh middle section of the album is fantastic it's prog alternative u never know which way the band is going

Gave this a listen based on BEA comments and really enjoyed this album and will follow up with this band later in the year

Very underratedly good album. High points are obviously Three Days, Stop, Been Caught Stealing. Recommend listening to their live album if you haven't checked it out yet.
