A classic *.* the big singles suffered from overplay but Use Somebody is still so brilliant!

It's weird how it took them four albums to breakthrough with hit singles.
 I wonder what made SOF and US catch on while their earlier singles didn't. I've never given this album a listen but checked out the above links and they're promising.

They truly broke through with this era.
The success achieved was so big and the era had huge longevity. |

'Notion' and 'Crawl' were underrated tracks by them I thought. Haven't listened to this in 15 years mind but I do recall it being a strong album!

They did have top 40 hits before this did they not? Always felt they were building up before it’s release rather than coming out of nothing.

Yes, they had 5 Top 40 singles between 2003 and 2007. Molly's Chambers, their debut, is probably their most recognisable for me (#23)
