i remember one thing that kinda threw me when i bought this album at age 15 was that for all its imagery, which makes you imagine it'll be this really explicit and profanity-laced GNR type thing, it's iirc 100% clean. some innuendos here and there but nothing particularly lascivious.

"Hole in My Heart" for the tight acoustic strumming and b/c it's not overplayed, nor was it ever.

xpost lol, omar otm
I should break this thing back out. I think I got it for my...14th birthday? That seems right. Pretty sure I also received a copy of Jesus Jones's Doubt that day. Listened to this a bazillion times back then but it was right on the cusp of the early-'90s alternanation so it got sidelined fairly quickly. I'm sure I still remember at least half of it by heart.

throughout this album it's also as if they're going for a bit of a Living Colour thing, and they don't sound 100% dissimilar to them.

Suzy Wants Her All Day WHAT
Nuno has been Rihanna''s guitarist for the past few tours, right?
I remember seeing the "Get the Funk Out" (lol) video on Headbanger's Ball and thinking how unusual it was, at the time, for a hard rock band whose drummer had short hair.
Holy shit is this video totally, exactly ... whatever year this was:

Gary Cherone even looking like Dick Tracy in the beginning.

Trying to listen to this album now and wow, is Decadence Dance long or what?

This was once my favourite album. I was 14. Still holds up. Same case for III Sides, but that one can get pretty syrupy at times. I'm such a big Nuno fan that by now (43 years old) I own two of his signature guitars (Washburn N4's). I'm not sure if he still plays with Rihanna, but there are some great youtube ideas out there with him playing shreddy solo's live with her band. Since I know way too much about this band, I can also tell those few interested that they supposedly have a new album coming out next year.

lol I was super into this album when it came out. Hole Hearted is a legit good single, although I am tempted to vote for Get the Funk Out

they still sound pretty good, and pull the harmonies off well live.

ugh...so my PROS and CONS
PRO
-Nuno's guitar solo
CON
-Cherone sounds terrible, and is auto-tuned to hell - his voice may be shot-production is so sterile and generic-basically Extreme trying to sound like Danny Wimmer Festival rock-song is terribly written
