Initial pressings included a bonus CD. Sloan: Jay Ferguson, Chris Murphy, Patrick Pentland, Andrew Scott. Additional personnel: Mike Cowie (trumpet); Brenndan McGuire (bass). Includes liner notes by Chico T. Sanchez. Sloan fans worried about how their boys would fare after being dumped by Geffen despite releasing two classic early-1990s power-pop albums. This independently distributed '96 recording proves that the band not only recovered but bounced higher. ("Nothing Left to Make Me Want to Stay" may as easily have been addresssed to their erstwhile label as to a lover.) Rough-and-tumble arrangements invited Stones comparisons along with the usual Beatles/Kinks associations, and the sparkling melodies and vocal harmonies are among the band's best.
