Oh yeah, near and dear to my heart for years now. Thanks for remembering! I love how the whole sound of the album can be described as a deeply sad person cheering himself up by force. We've all been there.
"You Get What You Give" is obviously the standout and one of the best songs of the '90s, but "Someday We'll Know" deserved a lot more airplay than it got, "Gotta Stay High" deserved any at all, and "I Hope I Didn't Just Give Away the Ending" is the best Afghan Whigs song they never wrote.
I've never nailed down for sure whether "A Love Like That" was written for the album or came later (it seems to have similar chord changes to the title track), but if it was written then but missed the cut, then oh, what a loss. I wish there were more Gregg Alexander songs out there to fall in love with, but there really aren't as many as there should be. "In the Neighborhood" and "Save Me From Myself" off his debut
Michigan Rain seem to hint pretty well at what's to come, though the production borders on the Steinmanian.
Never heard that Rundgren cover of "Someday We'll Know" but the Mandy Moore one is a guiltless pleasure.
