I guess I feel a bit sad-ish that their silly songs turn out to be more well liked than their more musically serious stuff? But at the same time, I just really love the band and welcomes anyone to enjoy any of their stuff.

Well Flood was by far their most successful album (hitting platinum), and for good reason. Lots of really great songs in there. Here's a fun promo for it they did in 1990. Internet humor before internet humor existed.

Flood has a special place in my heart because my dad would play the album on long car rides so we would all sing along as a family- except for my mom who would sulk about the long ride in chinese eating her homemade stewed chicken feet.

Huh! I haven't listened to the new album. I like this song. I'm hoping to go see them in concert in April. They're touring!
