Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A lush, eclectic blockbuster, home to 'Losing My Religion'. Tuneful and enormous. Their commercial peak. Holds up as a strong record in its own right, not just context.

On vinyl: '90s pressings are hit-and-miss on quality; a modern reissue is often the safer choice.
