I heard 'Dear Diary' on a sampler from CMJ, which now seems like ages ago... this was released in 1999, so I guess 6 years is 'ages ago'. I hadn't really noticed until it was pointed out to me, how Lou Reed like the vocals are - I was never crazy about Lou, but the vocals here work, in a hushed sort of 'I am just falling asleep' sort of way. The album is successful in being melodic, catchy and yet still. Includes an entertaining cover of Gn'R's 'Sweet Child O' Mine'. The painting on the cover looks like a whiter Michael Jackson, no?
