The ideal form of modern American rock, neither too heavy nor too pop.
The first pressing was 3.5 million copies, which was a world record at the time and reached number one in the US. Produced by Brendan O'Brien. Includes "Last Exit," a fast-paced rock song with a jam-like intro, and "Nothing Man," with its pleasant acoustic sound.
