IMO, this one could have been a smash, given the right promotion, but I think the label (Ardent) was going belly up at the time. It rocks pretty hard (top moments are "You're All Forgiven" and "Surrounded"), but never at the expense of melody. The title track---a sarcastic-yet-pretty ballad---is one of my fave tunes of the '90s. John B. John B.
