It's hard to believe that it's been out for almost eighteen years...  I first bought it as a gift for my sister in 91 on a cassette.  I fell in love and kept it for myself.  I bought it on a CD in 95 and lent it to a friend and never saw it again so I had to rebuy it.  I bought the re-release mainly for the second disc remix.  They gave it a very clean, dry, modern approach which is quite fitting.  It sounds remarkably fresh.
It is, IMHO, the most important hard rock album of the nineties.
