I've been listening to this album since elementary school. The Boys Are Back in Town still sounds good to me, despite its belonging to classic rock radio and Toy Story commercials. There are other great songs on here, too: Romeo and the Lonely Girl, Running Back, Fight or Fall, and Cowboy Song all have a great groove to them. For the record, the number of albums with five songs I don't skip consistently is pretty small. Even when listening to albums by some of my favorite artists, there will usually only be 1-4 songs I want to hear. Maybe this type of groove is just what happens when a talented band makes six albums before having a real hit. I wish it happened more often. (Wilco?)
Oh and by the way, there's a short sci-fi backstory that explains the cover art and title. You can read the whole thing on wikipedia.
