If I'm not mistaken, this was the best-selling album the 4AD label ever released, outselling any of the albums by Pixies, Cocteau Twins, Lush, Throwing Muses, Belly, etc., etc.

I only remember the melodies to ~4 tracks on it off the top of my head, though. I think that's because I was listening to a lot of shoegaze stuff then (that was the Latest 'n' Greatest Thing at the time, and for me it probably still is), whereas this album was more grunge-like. If I were to listen to it again I'd probably recognize most of it... maybe I'll put it on next!
