- One of my all-time favorite albums by any artist. This was huge when it was first released - it actually went double-platinum in pre-orders (this is back in the day before internet and computerized music sales tracking). There is simply not a bad song on it. A lot more polished than My Aim is True, but still has plenty of energy. Unsurpassed lyrics in tunes such as "Two Little Hitlers," and "Chemistry Class." They just don't make 'em like this anymore.

- Finally picked this up... first listen review: awesome album (still need to listen to the bonus CD). A number of classic songs that I of course already knew, but a few others that grabbed my attention as well. I'll update this review once I get a few more listens in.
