Its also an amazing contrast to the third album which is very Beatlesque at times.

You`ve done a great review here of every song as well and hopefully anybody that doesn`t know this album will check it out.
Yeah, "Sex Type Thing" is a classic. One thing I've always found weird is that both "Sex Type Thing" and "Dead And Bloated" start off with the lyrics "I Am."

Thanks for the kind comment, and speaking of their third album, I may review that at some point. It always was the oddball of the first few STP albums.
