Everclear - Sparkle and Fade

I remember "Santa Monica" fondly - a neat tune and lyrics which make explicit the aspirational tenor of much of that kind of 90s post-grunge rock - and occasionally get out the triple j hottest 100 cd with the song on it, and have less distinct memories of "Heroin Girl" and "You Make Me Feel Like A Whore", but really it was more So Much For The Afterglow which provided the radio Everclear songs which aren't an entirely insignificant part of the soundtrack to my recollections of late high school, and that album would probably give me more than this one. Sparkle and Fade's okay, but it's nothing special and very uneven - a small handful of decent songs, and the rest all slur into each other.
