The songs had more hooks than Gish but I felt like the band had lost something. Still, I did like it and I grew to really love it.
Many of my friends liked SD no matter what kind of music they were into (some hated it of course), and it eventually became more popular than Gish which is still a little bit strange for me but I can understand it. Both of those albums are still high on my list.
