Only thing I have by these New Jersey guys. Not a bad little power pop group reminding me a lot of
Weezer. This is their third album and the first to hit the charts here at a weak #115, athough it did
eventually go gold. Stacy's Mom was the single, which went to #21 here and #13 in Canada. Follow ups
of Mexican Wine and Hey Julie did not fare as well. Early tours with Lemonheads and Smashing Pumpkins
opened the door for them in the late 90's. Signed by Atlantic, they were dropped after two albums and
no success. Signed with a newly formed label for the next one and it clicked. Songs from here have
been used in tv series Scrubs, Malcom In The Middle, One Tree Hill, and commercials for L.L. Bean and
Dr. Pepper. I mentioned the Weezer sound but the standout for me is Hung Up On You which is totally
different from anything else on the album. A country tune that hit's the spot.
