Re: HITNF is a great album

Everyone thinks they were trying to mimic grunge on this album and
thats understandable given Toby Wright who worked with Alice In Chains
was the engineer. But there are other songs, the more melodic ones,
that attempt the modernize the Beatles style: Some People Fly, Miles
AWay, All I Want, Hero just to name a few. Some of them succeed,
others fail miserably.
