I haven’t really cared for anything they’ve done since, but I still maintain that Yourself or Someone Like You is one of the best pop albums of the latter 90s—though admittedly my tolerance for ‘3 A.M.’ is still suffering from the radio deluge.

I’d probably agree about the album, and the lackluster efforts since. I think my favorites off that disc were Long Day, Kody, Busted and Hang. 3 A.M. was always a weak link for me too.
