Haha, Thurston would love the fact you rented it on cassette!! I didn't even know that was still possible in 1998!
Anyway, I gave this album a full run through for the first time in ages last night and was blown away by how great it really is! I remember when it came out I thought it was quite good but not great as I had it in my head that Washing Machine was basically unsurpassable. Now I'd rate them side by side. ATL seems to have been a really slow burner for a lot of people but is now starting to be viewed as somewhat of a 90s Daydream Nation... and deservedly so!
