Featuring the fan favorite "American Music," which reached #2 on Billboard's Modern Rock Chart, as well as a cover of Culture Club's "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me." "The momentum of the song ["American Music"] and the album that spawned it provided a springboard for the band to bona fide cult status." - Rolling Stone.
