TBH, I was such a fanatic for High N Dry and Pyro, and after hearing Women a couple weeks before the release, I took one listen to Hysteria and put it on the shelf for over a year. It was until PSSOM broke big and they were on MTV every 15 minutes that I went back and listened again. Then I totally got into Animal, Love Bites, PSSOM, Hysteria, and Armeggeddon It. Still didnt listen to side 2 for a good 2 years later and then it was like holy fuck, this whole disc is amazing. To me the greatness in Hysteria is the depth. The worst Hysteria track is better than anything on Sparkle Lounge but a wide margin.
