One of the greatest videos of all time

As for the album, it's a bit hit and miss. Still quite underrated I would say.

[Applerill]

Haven't listened to this in a long time, but I do love several of the singles

[Wombi]

Incredibly underrated and SP's best album from start to finish. Of course it still is a bit too long (learn restraint Billy!) and some songs could have been cut but tracks like "To Shelia", "Appels + Oranjes", "The Tale of Dusty And Pistol Pete", "Shame" and obviously "For Martha" which as Loveless pointed out is one the best songs of all time.

[Norman Bates]

I own this. It's pretty much everything positive I can say about it.

[Mother Nature's Son]

A bit too long, yes, and not every song is equally great. But it has some very good moments and the whole album is deliciously drowned in melancholia.

Ugh. It's okay, but as a pretty big SP fan, it's hard for me to settle for anything after their first 3 albums when their first 3 are so freaking incredible.

Obviously not as good as Mellon Collie, but it didn't need to be as bad as it is. Horrible.

It's an album. Some people in the world like it. That's all I can say about it.

This album is really long but I actually think it's better for it, it gives the mood more time to seep in. Very good album for what it is.
