Reviews
This is one album that will definitely grow on you. It was really a loss when lead signer, Shannon Hoon died but through this album, he will always be remembered. His death is not the end, but just a start of a new beginning. A brilliant album. Beautifully structured. --Raine 27 December 2006 01:45 PDT
