I just played this last month for the first time in a while. 24 Hours is still the one I don't like very much, but my favorite is harder to pinpoint. I'll play it safe and go with I Blame Myself.

this might end up being one of the last CD's i will ever buy. ever since i have been on Spotify and doing it that way. the correct answer is probably "I Blame Myself" or is it "Night Time, My Time?" voting "Boys."

i hated this record when it came out and two months later i loved it. "heavy metal heart" for the manic compression but it could also easily be "nobody asked me"

I Will. It's buried in the middle of side 2 for some reason, but it's so catchy

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT WON'T WE?
I voted "Boys", what a rush of a song, but then "Ain't Your Right" burns harder. this is where I go for my JAMC fix lately.

i love how basically every song on this album is someone's fav (except like "love in stereo" but i like that one a lot anyway)
― dyl, Wednesday, 19 August 2015 19:38 (eight years ago) link
I still find this to be awfully harsh sounding for a pop album, but listening to "I Blame Myself" again today, I'm more convinced than ever that it is one of the half-decade's great singles.
Honorable Mention, though, to "Love in Stereo," the hidden gem of the record.

Completely missed this. Would have gone for I Will.
I'm ready for a follow up album.
