Like many people, my first experience with the songs from this album came from the included music video of Buddy Holly on the Windows 95 upgrade CD. Later, a friend of mine bought the album (I thought the band named sounded stupid), and we listened to the first couple songs. It wasn't too long after that I got the CD myself (I think my mother paid for it and it was one of the very first CDs I owned). I became more acquainted with the other tracks and began to like it a lot. This album became very important to my formative tastes in music, and listening to it always brings me back to my years in middle school.
Regarding the graphic design, I really like the layout of this album. The solid blue field on the cover gives it a very simple and unique look. The CD itself is a simple solid blue too. The band members look pretty goofy on the cover and Brian Bell's face was actually digitally replaced with a different photo. One thing I hate about the album is the lack of lyrics to the songs in the booklet. This made it pretty impossible for me to understand a lot of the words for years until I found them on the Internet.
