    Blind Melon is one of my favorite bands of all time. This cd has a more darker feel to it compared to their debut. Every song is excellent. I just really wish people would listen further than No Rain with this band. They wrote amazing music. It is just a damn shame Shannon overdosed when they were on tour for this record.
