Metallic Pea's first album, this materpiece rocked the charts, going double platinum in just 2 weeks. Looking back, the band feels the album title is misleading, because, as Aiello notes, "we feel the characterization of these songs as being the 'greatest' infers that our other songs are neither great nor the greatest. Obviously, this couldn't be further from the truth." Label: Manpower, Recorded January 11, 1999.
