it remains one of the most ambitious albums in their catalog, it's a kind sloppy beginning to what was coming in the late 90s
i have been doing alot of editing of the pages on wikipedia, and the use of the Grunge term is thrown around a bit too much(mentioned on 4 album pages, including some guy named Nirvana2764, who called it the last of the grunge trilogy) it's getting really annoying
Kim recently in an interview said it was her least favorite album, it's weird cause her songs are the best thing on there, and out-writes Thurston
one thing i have been thinking about for the last 2 months is could Jet Set have been better if you removed some of Thurston's Jet Set songs (Winner's Blues is him alone anyway) and replace with songs like Cindy (Rotten Tanx), Patti Smith Math Scratch, and Psychic Hearts, certainly the album would have been improved, but would it have been worth it and not to have the Psychic Hearts album at all
it's my favorite and most intriguing period of the Band and yet they played only show the whole year, it was a year of what could have beens, and what wasn't
they could have had the cover of Spin magazine, then that was canceled, they were also pegged as a co-headliner on the Lollapalooza tour
very unique time: child-birth, side projects, and yeah a top 40 album
oh, and i am starting the album is better then Dirty, so yeah i like it alot
