Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

The album that made the Foos a real band, balancing crushing rock with melody on 'Everlong'. Emotional and tuneful. Their definitive record. The single record that earns them a spot in the catalogue.

On vinyl: Worth checking whether a reissue exists before hunting for an original pressing.
