Title: not that good, actually
Review: Don't listen to all these rave reviews. This is not great pop music by any stretch of the imagination. Dream All Day is good, but then you probably knew that back in 1993. Nothing else on the album approaches the strength of that one song. The tracks on FOTB are okay as background music, but there is nothing that amazes you in terms of melody, lyrics, or creativity. If you want to listen to an under-appreciated 90s artist, pick upIn Reverseby Matthew Sweet. Now that's some vastly underrated pop music right there. FOTB is average pop music for people without much of a sense of what great pop music is, but want to feel like they're cool because they like a band from Seattle that has been "criminally ignored" by people who actually like to listen to something worth their time. Don't buy the hype.
