I agree with you about the production on this one. It's pretty amazing.
I also agree that this album is the more mainstream of the two, but considering the first album, that's not exactly pushing it far into the mainstream!
I like both albums but I prefer this one, although I haven't gotten a chance to listen to it as much as it deserves since it's spent most of its time since I bought it at my home and I have not.

What's your basis for qualifying "Blew," "Love Buzz," and "Lake of Fire" as singles? I don't know about the other two, but "Love Buzz" was actually pressed as a physical single - Sub Pop 23.

This is kind of tough
1. All Apologies A 2. Heart-Shaped Box 3. Lithium 4. Come As You Are 5. Smells Like Teen Spirit A- 6. About a Girl 7. Aneurysm B+ 8. In Bloom 9. Love Buzz B 10. Blew B- 11. The Man Who Sold the World C+ (sorry, but, Lulu ftw!) 12. Sliver C 13. You Know You're Right
Don't recall "Lake of Fire" well enough to rank it

These Hard Times B- 15. Bright Lights D+ only song of theirs I can recall ever switching off when it would come on the radio
Don't remember "Crutch" or "Feel" well enough to rank them

1. Karma A 2. Ghetto Story Chapter 2 3. How Come U Don't Call Me A- 4. Gangsta Lovin' B+ 5. Like You'll Never See Me Again 6. If I Ain't Got You (For a while I really didn't like this much, but it grew on me.) 7. You Don't Know My Name B 8. Fallin' B- 9. No One C 10. Unbreakable C- 11. My Boo F
I guess we're not counting "Gangsta Lovin'?" 'Cause that would rank fairly well with me.
Don't know "A Woman's Worth" or "Diary" well enough to rank and fairly confident I've never heard "Girlfriend" or a version of "Brotha" that has her on it.
EDIT: Reworked to include guest appearances as below.

1998
Jan 28, 2008 4:20:22 GMT -4
Post by WotUNeed on Jan 28, 2008 4:20:22 GMT -4
Interesting...
My 1998 collection is a mix of albums from some of my core artists of the time (The Offspring's Americana, Eve 6's self-titled release), some releases that would become important to me only after the fact (Cake's Prolonging the Magic, Manu Chao's Clandestino), some random R&B trends from the time (Deborah Cox's One Wish, Elusion's Think About It), some discs that I would definitely call period pieces (Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too, Everything's Super Natural), and some discs which would likely be called disposable by general consensus (Pure Sugar's self-titled release, Los Umbrellos' Flamenco Funk), plus a random smattering of singles.
Only have 24 discs actually labeled as '98, though. I didn't buy a whole lot of music at that point.
The above two lists make a much better case for the year in music than mine would. Seems like it was indeed a good one, though.

www.myspace.com/jonasbrothersCould they have possibly ripped off "I'm Already There" by Lonestar any more? The only difference is "I'm Already There" gets about three letter grades higher, because the song works a lot better with country vocals than it does with a bunch of preadolescent boys. Also, why is this flying up the chart when "SOS" (which also sucked) stalled in the 20s? First single doing okay + good digital sales (thanks to Disney Channel I'd guess) means radio is susceptible to playing this. I'm open to a lot of music, even music that in all probability is crap... but even in the realm of kiddy music The Jonas Brothers are exceptionally bad.

I wanna say she opened for either Paolo Nutini or Brandi Carlile last fall, but I very well could be confusing her with somebody different. It just seemed like one of their openers (or both, for all I know) was a girl whose name I only recognized from seeing a song listed on the lower rungs of the Hot AC chart. She and Serena Ryder were the opening acts for Nutini when I saw him. She did a good set that night.

"Superstar." Jesus Christ Do you think you're what they say you are? [/badpun] I think pop radio is giving it a chance because it managed to get some spins from rhythmic and also started getting some okay digital sales. Not sure how the callout is on it to know if that's affecting it at all.

Again working under the assumption nobody cares, but I'm doing a much better job focusing on the board than on anything productive.
These are the upcoming concerts for which I currently have tickets: -Michael Bublé -Stars -B. B. King -Etta James & The Roots Band -Nick Lowe with Ron Sexsmith -Elvis Costello & The Imposters

So far '08's purchases have been: some stuff from a used shop, some collections by 60s/70s/80s artists, a Crowded House single, a couple 90s country discs I needed to get some work done, an Erasure single, Kate Nash's album, Robyn's Rakamonie EP, some Feeling singles, New York Dolls' self-titled album, Jimmie's Chicken Shack's Bring Your Own Stereo, Sam Roberts's We Were Born in a Flame, the newest releases from Natasha Bedingfield, Tim Finn, and Joe Jackson, some albums from Mary Chapin Carpenter's catalogue, The Fifth Dimension's Soul & Inspiration, Eileen Rose's Party Dress EP , and the 30th anniversary reissue of Nick Lowe's Jesus of Cool.
I'm working under the assumption nobody cares, but I'm tracking my year in music on the web this year in case some soul out there does.
