Personal

Own?	Yes, CD.

Maroon came out while I was dating a young woman who loved BNL, so I heard it just as it was release, and listened to it frequently. While I wasn't a huge fan of it to begin with, I do remember instantly enjoying Pinch Me. After she and I broke up, I continued to like the band and ended up buying most of their albums. This was either the first or second album of theirs I bought, and my second favorite. In addition to memories of younger less-responsible days, the positive themes in the songs, and upbeat sound of most of the tracks, listening to this album always just makes me feel good.
