A masterpiece that culminates roots rock exploration with controversial artwork!
Building on the momentum of their previous album, this album boldly introduced elements of psychedelia and folk, reaching the top of the US charts and establishing their position as the standard-bearers of vintage rock in the 90s.
This important album inherits the soul of vintage rock while infusing it with a unique experimental spirit. Moving away from the straightforward sound of their previous albums, the band's musical approach, incorporating Latin rhythms and jam session-inspired elements, was highly praised by many critics as "fresh and original." It reached number 11 in the US and number 8 in the UK, and achieved RIAA Gold certification in the US, shipping over 500,000 copies. These figures demonstrate that their earthy yet sophisticated rock garnered solid support, even during the heyday of alternative music.
