The music on the album is pretty straight pop punk rock. If I didn’t have the residual emotional investment I’m not sure I could make it through the record today. Hell, I’m surprised I can make it through as it is. The album is mostly social commentary on the excesses and failures of American culture and I’m sure this seemed way more topical and relevant and interesting in the 90’s. To be fair one of the biggest draws was that it had words your parents wouldn’t let you say. When you’re ten, swear words are the best words.
Production seems actually pretty good, being released by a major studio at a time before loudness wars really kicked in full force. I can’t say I’ll listen to it often, but I look forward to the next time I dig it out in a few years time.
