I popped it in the car recently, and I have the album at work, so I listen to it quite a bit. I can agree that it gets better as the years go by. Although, I dislike Regerneration more so now then I did then for some reason. Too Cool Queenie has definitely become one of my favorites off the album, after the exquisite Hello, It's Late.
Dedicated. Disgusting. Disturbing.

I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round, and the music is too loud..

It's an album of contrasts that's for damn sure. "Long Way Home" makes me wanna stab my ears out. Easily the worst stp song ever written.

I love Long Way Home! Wat a finisher, with the solo goin on n on as the song fades out, the solo reaching the best point at the fade out zone :)

I've tried getting into this album but I honestly cannot. I love Dumb Love. I like DOTW but it really doesn't do anything for me. Then Coma and Hollywood bitch are some of my favorites songs followed by my 3 least favorite STP songs, period. Then I like 8-11, then "a long for sleeping" makes me want to go to sleep. "Long way home" is a good song and IMO finishes the album appropriately especially with the fading solo.

I couldn't ever get into the chorus of Regeneration. It isn't bad, but it just didn't resonate with me. Other than that section of the song, I really think the guitars are vintage Dean. It is such a cool song but the chorus doesn't do it for me. I really like the rest of the lyrics and the way Scott sings that one though.

Are you joking?!?  False

Art School Girl, MC5, Ride the Cliche, all easily worse.  Long Way Home is a great closer

'Long Way Home' and 'Where the River Goes' tries my patience...
Funny how I think those two songs are very underrated by STP fans.  I think Long Way Home and Transmissions from a Lonely Room could have been hits.  No air play though.

I never liked MC5.  Just sounded like a mess to me then, and I dont listen to it now.  I do not miss it.
