I just saw Matthew Sweet two weeks ago down at the TLA in Philly, based mostly on two songs that I knew: Sick of Myself and Girlfriend. It was a great show! Then Bill V (who also attend the show) tells me that Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend album is the best album of the 90s. Wow! Although I will put Dada's Puzzle up against anybody, Bill V has to be taken seriously. So I went out an bought this CD.

Needless to say, it is excellent. I would say 9 to 10 of the 15 songs could have been hit singles, but nobody promotes rock 'n roll anymore. Oh well. Anyway, this CD will be in my glove compartment for a long time. This is definitely one that should be in your collection too. Oh, and is it better than Puzzle? It's a close call!
