This was the first CD I ever owned. And I didn't even own a CD player at the time, I couldn't find the tape at the store I went to when I was 8. My older cousin always played Dominated Love Slave and at my age anything that sounded that funny was a required album to own. So, regrettably, I listened to that one song over and over and over and neglected the rest of the serious, much better tracks. A couple of years later when Dookie came out and I began forming my actual good taste in music, I finally had a walkman and ended up playing this so many times and bringing it with me everywhere so much that the foil kind of stuff on the back of a CD wore off and I had to get a new one. This album really doesn't sound like anything else that was coming out at the time. It actually featured "Welcome to Paradise", probably the greatest song ever made about Oakland, which was later redone and put on Dookie. The CD version had 4 bonus tracks, my favorite being a cover of The Who's "My Generation".
Key Tracks: 2000 Light Years Away, Christie Road, One of My Lies
