šI must have been 8 or 9 when this album came out. I only heard it because an older family friend showed me. It was the first album I ever heard that wasnāt filtered through my parents, and that a cool 13(-ish) year old girl was showing me only made me more fascinated with it. I felt like I was in on something, even if the record ended up going platinum six times over.
But the reason I can say itās my favorite album is that itās actually good. The songs are catchy and accessible, but not without depth. It has some of Stephan Jenkins trademark cringe (try listening to any other 3EB album and its everywhere), Kevin Cadogan was able to blunt his worst instincts.
Listening to it in recent years leaves me with a feeling of aneomia ā a strange sort of nostalgia for the life I imagined a cool young adult living in 1997.

šØiām such an advocate for regular ass people doing art. or anything new that ārequires skillā really
we are so scared of doing things because weāre not any good at them. so what.
karaoke with the confidence of a popstar even if your voice cracks and you donāt know breath support. paint even if it looks like a toddler made it. play the same three guitar chords and paint your furniture with a kitchen sponge and try to bake macarons.
itās so sad that people who arenāt, like, professionally skilled, get laughed at for their art. or like i said, trying any skill that isnāt honed yet
thereās something so important and human in the arts, its such an amazing outlet but people refuse to tap into it because they ācanāt draw a stick figureā or āwrite too clicheā or āhave two left feetā.
DO IT POORLY!!!!! DO IT SCARED!!!!! DO THE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO DEEP DOWN IN YOUR SOUL EVEN IF YOU THINK YOUāRE BAD AND FEEL EMBARASSED!!!!! let yourself have fun with things!!!!!!!! it shouldnāt be a competition all the time. you probably are not ariana grande, but youāre allowed to have fun singing and stuff too. if you have a voice in your head that laughs at you when youāre not immediately good at something, learn to gently correct it. tell it youāre learning and youāll never be any good at something if you donāt have the courage to justā¦.start. somewhere, anywhere
