Data Insight
All eleven tracks stay in house and Robert DeLeo is on every one. The comeback record after the hiatus is heavier than Tiny Music and produced the band's only Hot 100 single, which is one of the softest songs on it.
No. 4 came out on Atlantic in October 1999 after a three year gap and is certified platinum. "Sour Girl" reached number 78 on the Billboard Hot 100, the only Hot 100 entry in the catalogue.
