Nostalgia is the word. A really complete sound. Maybe this is a 9.

There's something endearing about this record, the album is really appealing. Its smoothness and elegance combine really well with its power, and its ability to quickly switch between the emotions it wants to evokes is remarkable. I also think this record is improved having listened to it c.25 years after release, its ability to invoke a sense of nostalgia for the late '90s and even the early '00s is noteworthy, lots of the tracks sounded like they would make good outro soundtracks for TV/films from that era.
