I remember hearing it for the first time in the late 90's and thinking it was a major disappointment from Dig Your Own Hole. But over the years, I don't know what happened, but I suddenly "got it" and really fell in love with it. One of my favorite tracks happens to be Orange Wedge, which seems to be overlooked by too many people. And "Dream On" is one of the best closers I've ever heard.

Speaking of which, I just heard that track in a trailer for some Robert Pattinson movie...yuck. Definitely doesn't do the song justice.

I'm surprised by the hatred you guys have toward We Are the Night. I think it's a great album; definitely better than Push the Button. The opening track is a killer.

I didn't care much at all for "We Are the Night" or "Push the Button" although there were a couple songs in each that were pretty nice.

"Surrender" is my favorite album; loved it from the start. I do have a poster of the album framed in my bedroom, given to me (free of charge!) when a local record store took the promo poster down.
