No need for a Greatest Hits album...

Pros: Every track is memorable. Raw power and emotion.

Cons: Cons???

When I originally bought this album, back in the 90's, just after it came out, I couldn't quite appreciate how good it truly was. I was a foolish high schooler who would bite at the next big thing. I listened to this album passionately for th...ree or four months, and then let it go to the wayside for a few years. Just this past year, I revisited the album, and was blown away by the maturity, seriousness, and fun of the record. There's the tracks that you know -- "I Alone," "Selling the Drama," and "Lightning Crashes." But even after not hearing it for almost ten years, it was the other tracks that I remembered instantly, beat for beat, even lyric for lyric. "Waitress," "S*** Towne," "All Over You," and the band's tour-de-force, and perhaps the greatest song written in the 90's, "White, Discussion," a track that I never listened to all the way through until just this past year. If you liked some of the afore-mentioned songs back in the 90's, but didn't think much of the band, do yourself a favor and give Throwing Copper a listen. It truly is one of the greatest albums ever.
