This phenomenal album that played between the Mainstream and Modern Rock genre was released in 1998 before the group actually disbanded.

Trivia
- When you open up the pullout lyric booklet inside, notice that the lyrics are upside down! Clever isn't it? We're all brainwashed into expecting that the lyrics will face in the same direction as the cover photo.
- The single "You Get What You Give" was inspired by Alexander's thoughts while he was looking outside a big window of his friend's house. He says "I was looking at the city as this sprawling sea of humanity and knowing that witin that sea there were pregnant mothers who couldn't get health insurance and in that same city there were spoiled children talking on cell phones about how come they didn't get fifteen Prada dresses for christmas. While I was looking out at that dea, ' You Get What You Give ' came flowing through me."
- With such lyrics as "Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson/ Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson/ You're all fakes run to your mansions/ Come round here we'll kick your ass in," "You Get What You Give" has conquered both the radios and television. Alexander said he wanted to experiment on real issues and big names instead to see what the people would pay attention to. The "real issues" cited in the song are expressed in such lyrics as "Health insurance rip-off lying/ FDA big bankers buying/ Fake computer crashes dining/ Cloning while they're multiplying."
