25 years of THB+an interesting observation

Of course, today is the 25th anniversary of the release of the band's most (rightfully) acclaimed album. However, this has been overshadowed by Oasis' Definitely Maybe which was released on the same day. Never in a million years would you get THB trending at #2 on Twitter or your bucket-hat-and-bumbag-over-the-shoulder-wearing, Strongbow Dark Fruits-chugging mates singing its praise.

But it got me thinking: I think this is a really overlooked fact in reviews. It really shows how distant they were from the fledgling Britpop movement at the time. They would later warm up to it, of course, but listening to these two albums back-to-back is a surreal experience.

What do you think? Hoping not to open up too big a can of worms but hey...
(Also I found out that Revol was released on the same day as Live Forever. Again make of that what you will.)
