wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment, we all know it doesn't hold up to intense scrutiny. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think we can all agree that
'Sleepin' Around' is a puke-fest. We thought it was a puke-fest BEFORE we learned it was autobiographical. BARF!! I don't even have to leave
Rather Ripped to submit another...'
Lights Out'. Absolutely terrible.
Rather Ripped isn't one of their best efforts, but it has some all-time greats like
'Pink Steam',
'Turquoise Boy', and
