"Just discovered these guys when FLOTUS came out. Seems they've been great forever, and How I Quit Smoking may be their best." Reply
"It isn't a secret or a surprise that Bush is limited musically. Their follow up to the immensely popular Sixteen Stone has less huge hit singles and more filler. Mouth, Cold Contagious, and Swallowed are top notch Grunge/Alt Songs. The rest of this is merely passable if you love the genre. If you..." [+] Reply
"It\'s a good 3 disc offering, but could\'ve been a great one if whittled down to 2 CDs or even 1 of the best stuff.

"For all the talk of Oasis inheriting the Stone Roses mantle, this album comes closest to the intricate musicianship and skill that was the roses true defining feature... a finely crafted work that has appreciated in value as time has passed.
