4.0 out of 5 stars Great countryish rock that feels like the West, October 20, 2005

This is one of those albums that haunted my CD player all through high school and that still refuses to go away. The sound is mellow though energetic, and the lyrics are interesting and worth thinking about.
The song "Good" was a well-justified high-energy/feel-good radio hit back in the day, "The Killer Inside" features well-articulated and clear electric guitar that feels acoustic and a sort of a Spaghetti Western feel, "Rosealia" and especially "Coyote" feel like perfect songs to play on long drives through the American West, and the whole album feels like a well-assembled time capsule of the best of 1990s alternative music.
I've listened to it since 1993, and will almost certainly continue to. It's good stuff.

I enjoyed this album when it was released in '95. Now that the band has resurfaced onto the music scene, I find myself listening to this classic album all the time. This album has a mix of a southern tone, and modern rock. Uncomparable to artists of it's day, but artists of today have been influenced by Better Than Ezra's unique sound. If you pick up any albums from this band, this should be your first stop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute perfection!, February 17, 2005

Okay. They are a one-hit wonder in most people's eyes, at least anyone who only knows them by name. However, if you own this CD, you know why i disagree.
Good was an awesome song, the foundation of their success, but Rosealia is another awesome song. A true opportunity for a #1 on the billboard charts, but it was never given a chance. Coyote also rocked, and the hidden ending is quite the rocker in itself (Sorry to spoil the 'surprise' for any of you who dont know)...You cant help but love Better than Ezra after listening to this CD. It made me go outa and buy their other two albums which also rocked!
