I saw him 2 times AMAZING Live...

Hmm. Sounded rather out of keeping with the mid 90's to me - none of that awfully, phasey wash of overcompressed cymbal sound, for example. Doesn't strike one as mid-90's in the same way as Silverchair or Bush. I'm sure there's something to the assertion, but I'd appreciate a bit of elaboration.

I think your objection has to do with the context with which the album was created. The band came into being around that album, so naturally they were better afterwards. They actually stopped the recording sessions for a while so they could do some shows and tighten up.
