Their third album, and not as good as the last one for me. Replaced guitarist Doug Hopkins who had some
previous writing credits with Scott Johnson. A four year break between the two albums. Title is a
reference to the success of the last album and the suicide of Hopkins, who they had fired. Assuming the
firing led to his suicide. Nothing on this album that grabs me and three tracks I don't care for. Sound
is no different than the last one. The band called it quits for 10 years after this one and I never
picked up on the two albums since reforming. This one charted higher than the previous, at #10, but
failed to equal that ones overall sales. Subsequent albums haven't come close to those. Three singles
from here of which my fav of Follow You Down did the best, at #9.
