Rolling Stone's 327th greatest album of all time
Great album, and my first exposure to Phair's work. It would be rather easy to compare her to PJ Harvey, and while there is a similarity, Phair is much angrier, more raw and open about her sexuality. A lot of these songs appear to be about her "making bad choices" and partly regretting it, partly enjoying it. This gives the work an honesty and really cuts through the music to engage the listener on a whole different level. The strong vocal on generally stripped down music enables this.
