Waiting for the Punchline

Now that my whole 'pissed at grunge for killing hair' tirade is close to being finished, I can listen to this record a little more objectively. Livid upon first listen, I hear a band that wanted to do more than Pornograffitti Part 2. I'm glad. 'Hip Today', 'Cynical' and 'Shadow Boxing' would have fit on 'III Sides', and 'Unconditionally' is a unique ballad. 'Naked', however still sucks. --johnk5150
