I know with me, a lot of albums I love and consider classics came when I was younger, more easily influenced, basically less experienced in the 'world of music'. An album like this, when I first heard it, was very unique and new. Now, it might not seem that way, but probably there are a ton of bands who were influenced by this band/record and allow it to influence their music. And you may have heard their music before you heard the Lips. And thus, we are all a part of the great Circle of life.

I'm 21. I never said I couldn't see any merit, but the whole BEST ALBM EVA thing is what I don't get.

And again... I still hate his voice, but that's just personal preference.

johnny5:
yeah i probably wouldn't say best evar

Thrillho:
To be fair I don't really listen to things this upbeat usually, it's just not the kind of music I tend to listen to. Although there is an air of danger and despair to some of the lyrics like the 'accidentally touched my head/and realised I had been bleeding,' for example. So I don't think it's even influenced anything I listen to, at least not directly enough to have an impact on the sound of the things.

But yeah virtually every review I read says this may be the best album of the 1990s. Which seems overkill to me.

you are reading the wrong music reviews.  it's not even in the top 50.

johnny5:
i like the second half of it more than the first, first does seem very upbeat. second half is more comtemplative, unsure of things, i guess. I don't know, I just like the Gash a lot.
