I've had that CD since it first came out and just listened to it quickly, then decided I did not like it. I listened to it again and loved it, especially Man o Warm Pretty Man, The Sun Moon and Stars. The entire CD is great, underrated.

Me too. I can't explain it. Right after his passing, I had this need to listen to, "The Sun, The Moon and Stars." Have been on the whole albumn for weeks. Also spending more time on The Chocolate Invasion.

I would love the original configuration !!

The remix of Undisputed is awesome.

Man 'o' war is a song I come back to again and again. An AMAZING song. Should have been a hit

The Greatest Romance

Prettyman

Man O War

Strange But True

I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore

Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic

Six strong tracks, the rest is so so or just plain bad. IMHO of course. The good songs are good though.

Strange But True is one of my favorites of the last 25 years..... EYE love U but dont Trust U is up there too..

I love Undisputed (minus the chuck d rapj) and Tangerine too

I wish I could get into The Greatest Romance.. but it just never clicked for me...

Oh and Baby Knows is cool too.

but man oh man is Everyday is a Winding Road complete and utter SHIT!

I agree that it is certainly is underrated. I love whole the album.

It's definitely a solid album.....as solid as they come, in fact. The only song I don't really like is "Baby Knows," but at least it has a memorable hook. "Everyday Is a Winding Road" sounds like it could belong in a Mentos commercial, but it's just goofy fun and is kind of a guilty pleasure for me. The rest of the album kicks ass!

I keep catching myself singing the chorus of 'The Greatest Romance' in the shower lately. Kind of. i must like it.

I never hated that record. I was just disappointed with the title track.

Always felt the "Rave in2" follow-up was better.

Over the years I recall many fans saying the title track had too much of a plastic-pop sound to it...I kind of understand that point. While I like the 1999 version, I've always prefered the versions he did in the Lovesexy aftershows.

I've always been partial to Rave in2 with the exception of the Rave remix (hate it).

So Far So Pleased should havebeen released as a single with a KILLER Music Video with Gwen. Lost opportuntiy there.

The live version of So Far, So P,ease is pretty amazing as well. Really, I Love U, But I Don't Trust You is the gem of this album. If not, the whole late 90's.

I heard prince tried to get "so far so pleased"released as a single but there was some kind of conflict between prince and Gwen Stefanie's labels at the time .maybe someonelse can explain it better? [Edited 6/19/16 23:27pm]

Interscope, those idiots, believed that a single for the song released in early 2000 would confuse audiences because they were about to release No Doubt's 4th album and they feared that SFSP would somehow compete with it, or that audiences would believe it was a No Doubt duet with Prince from the No Doubt album. They had the contractual power to prevent Prince and Gwen from releasing a single and they did. Those morons ruined a wonderful opportunity for both P and Gwen.

Any love for "Beautiful Strange"? I know it wasnt on rave un2 but it was on rave in2 the joy fantastic . Rave is a great album but I always skip "the sun moon and stars" and "everyday is a winding road"

You must be new.
