Peaking at No.4 on the Billboard 200 and racking up numerous gold and platinum certifications around the world, it more than held its own, despite what the critics thought. The album produced a hit with their cover of "Harlem Shuffle" — and features a number of guest appearances, including contributions by Tom Waits, Patti Scialfa, Bobby Womack, and Jimmy Page on "One Hit (To the Body)."
