yeah so was mine. I'm guessing it was the first record with radio hits, but Elephant should have eclipsed it by a wide margin.

Although, interestingly enough for me, I thought that The radio singles from WBC's were on whole better than Elephants (barring 7NA which was a mushroom cloud of pure rock ecstacy) though I think Elephant had more appealing songs than WBC. (Ball and a Biscuit was a groove that made you wanna ****, and Girl, You have no Faith in Medicine won over the most ardent Stripes haters)
