Every single one of the lyrics I've seen quoted from this album sound like ad copy for some awful new show on Bravo.

I think AiC's first post-Layne album was better, but they both suffer from a lack of songwriting dynamics.

I fell into that trap at the time, but it was already clear by the time Purple came out that STP was very far removed from what other so-called mainstream grunge acts were producing.

My 1993 Top 5:

Apparently the line between "dated" and "retro" is a thin one indeed.

And "Real World" is also one of the last great Queensryche songs of their career.

That's pretty funny… a fly marrying a bumblebee.

I'm admittedly outside the target age of the show by a few (um, 5 or 6 maybe) years. But I have watched a handful of episodes, and BMW struck me a a pleasant, serviceable sitcom and nothing more. But people talk about it as if it's at the level of prime Seinfeld or Cheers, and I'm mystified.

I'll thank you to refer to it as the "squeakuel," please.
