"The mid-nineties were great years for albums that brought together punk's two-minute punchiness with the earnest relationship laments that would soon become the genre we now know as emo.

"This album is good from start to finish and is a favorite. It is so poppy and as many note, Beatlesque. It is probably their most accessible / college rock / alternative offering." Reply

"This is one of my top 100 albums which you can check out together with additionele comments. Albums like this are not made anymore: the moment I bought "Troublegum" it grabbed me by the throat by its sheer energy and it has continued to do so since then. This album doesn't contain one lesser song..." [+] Reply

I'd also like to note that I just looked at the playclock for my last comment, and it happened to be at 23 seconds. It didn't even register with me that that w..." [+] Reply
