I was surprised to see the album only got to number 43 in the UK charts, that's one of their lowest, only beaten by OWB (by a couple of places), and Drift which wasn't really done as a proper album anyway. Wasn't expecting it to be a smash hit, but given that Barbara reached the top 10 it seems really low. That can't be much more than a couple of thousand sales in the UK.



I'm still enjoying it a lot. I had a revisit of the three past deluxe editions recently and hmm, yeah, those albums are definitely deeper and more exciting than this, I sometimes forget how brilliant the '90s stuff is I think, and OWB will always be my personal favourite, but this not being up there with their best isn't exactly a major insult, it's still a superb record start to finish.
