Okay, I like "Fool's Gold" a lot, but the above phrase would never occur to me when describing it unless I was saying something like "I really like 'Fool's Gold', even though it does have innovative and original chords."

Does that mean that, like him, you are currently wandering around stinky, unshaven and in desperate need of lying down and doing nothing for a good long while?

So, to answer the question--no, probably not as good as claimed, but still worth a listen.

And I heard it in mid 94ish, well after the hype. It just sounded... classic.

I'm surprised Silvertone didn't choose to remaster and rerelease all the early stuff last year, the debut, Turns Into Stone etcetera (I wouldn't be surprised if they remastered and rereleased the bloody singles!). They've never missed an opportunity to sponge off the Roses before, and the Very Best Of compilation looked like being the start of a reissue process.
X-post; Yes. You must be insane!

Ha ha. True. See, if they had a remix by Junior Senior with b/up vocals by Beyonce and production by NERD but remained the same - different story. ha ha.
Anyways did you hear the news - INDIE is back in fashion!

On the contrary, what bugs a lot of people is that this album of bland, innocuous indie-pap is treated as if it's a work of genius. In lists of most overrated albums of all time this is Top 5.

So i loved it for about six months until One Love, which I thought was shite and I stopped caring and started listening to MBV or something.

Crossing threads slightly I think it's safe to say the Roses liked the Monkees more than the Beatles - this should forever put them above those other retro-chancers from Manchester.
