Yeah -- me too. On the way to a night shift in 1992, I heard a 30 minute national radio promo for the album broadcasting out of NYC, and fell in love. Finally, (at the time) someone was making real American rock and roll again! I sat in my car listening ...and was late to my shift!

90s had some great lyrics. A lot of humor and weirdness. And that's what the world needs now.

Hard to believe this masterpiece is going to be 30 years old soon!!! The entire album is a musical work of art with its raw energy! As a person who had a “To hell with everything and everybody” attitude, this album just really resonated with me. Not only Teen Angst (or in my situation, early 20s angst), but such powerhouse tunes like Someday, I See the Light, Mr Wrong, and (Don’t Fuck Me up with) Peace and Love had so much raw energy and emotion to them that sometimes I felt David Lowery knew exactly how I felt at times! And when my blood was pumping from the energy, Cracker brings you down to earth and calms you with the slow paced Dr Bernice. Just brilliant!!! Nearly thirty years later, I’m a far cry from that angry early 20s person. But I still love to blast this CD a couple times a year and enjoy Lowery’s energy and emotion. This album is not just one of the best 90s albums, but one of the best ever.

There was just as much then as there is now. "Alternative" music was just a marketing scheme. I mean Macy's was selling ugly cardigans and flannel shirts(marketed as grunge-wear) for christsakes & MTV had their Alternative Nation show. It was very much allowed to exist because it generated A LOT of $$$, and us Gen Xers gobbled it up. That's not to say that there wasn't any good music, but there was a lot of tripe thrown in with the good stuff.

In 1992, it seems like Cracker could already smell what the Teen Spirit was cooking. Both singles were released in the same year (and nominated for the same Grammy). Pretty prophetic considering alternative was just about to bust wide open.

this song cracks me up. love it.

what you fail to realize, is that these guys were out of a box with a sound that was desired by someone else even back then. you reminisce for your youth when things seemed simpler, because you were simpler -- were not so experienced in life, though you thought you knew everything already. if this circus goes on another 20 years, there will be a bunch of 40 year olds yearning for the simple times and raw talent and honesty of justin bieber.
