Somehow Savage Garden have taken generic and amplified it to bigger and broader proportions. There is nothing groundbreaking here, and almost every song is either a slow sappy pop ballad or a saccharine piece of feel-goodery. Still, "Chained to You" strikes my fancy, and the ubiquitous (at the time) "Crash and Burn" refuses to pull its hooks out. Other tunes do make this album worth listening to, if for no other reason than background music.
