Additional info
The UK-only special edition of the album included a bonus disc, entitled Rated U, which was also separately issued as the "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" single. Along with "...Summer" and its video, it featured three newly recorded songs

Most European editions separate "In the Fade" and the laughing "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" reprise into two tracks, 3:51 and 0:34 in length (the American issue has them together as track 8). The track listing on the back cover remains the same as on the regular edition, which means that it does not match the actual track numbers from that point on

The album that got me into the band, and interestingly one that holds some of the band's widely reknowned classics: A song that bears nothing but the names of drugs being chanted over and over again ('Feel good hit of the summer'), Brief forays into the disturbing and the sick ('Quick and to the pointless') and some truly mind-bending Chart-stormers ('The Lost art of keeping a secret'). I believe it was here, on this album, that the band reached their peak.

The lyrics to that song describe what it took to write this album and what an awesome album it is. Their best.

What the hell is wrong with this site? Rated R 8.2 seriously? I'm out of here.

because it is rated between very good and excellent and not perfect?

China was a neat
This album really is more riff-oriented than its successor, Feel Good Hit Of The Summer and Autopilot are the highlights here and definitely among their best ever.

Better Living Through Chemistry still makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
