Product Description
Amazon.ca
"This is a song about Susan" is the first line of Everclear's follow-up to the deservedly platinum Sparkle and Fade. That personalization is one of Art Alexakis's greatest gifts to postgrunge rock; rather than float generalized rage over the ever-growing roar of his power trio, he tells you his stories, those of the people around him, some he makes up--and makes them all yours in the end. The development in the music here, from the Beach Boys-style chorale at the top of the title cut to the new wavey jerkiness of "Everything to Everyone" and "Normal Like You," boasts of not only the band's surefootedness but Alexakis's own generosity. The latter is best reflected in "Father of Mine," one of the saddest, most brutal songs about family ever. --Rickey Wright

Format:Audio CD
This album has been a favorite of mine for 8 years & I am only 19, so it's saying a lot about how timeless the tracks are. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

Format:Audio CD
Although i always kept switching genres of music throughout my life i always loved alterntive rock and have listened to everclear for most of my young life, all throughout junior high school to now (21) And owning every record from them i felt that this is one of their finest and give it 5 stars even though my favs are "world of noise" and "sparkle and fade" A very solid album from beginning to end, i dont mind the fillers either i definately reccomend to new everclear fans

A generally strong album with a few warts

At the top of their game
The thing with Everclear is that they were never cool. Art Alexakis was in his 30s and had already lived the rock star life and settled back down to being a father. Read more

Solid Effort From A Solid Band
Art's lyrics are angst-ridden and heart felt at all times and the soaring guitars are screaming and banging as usual. Read more

Essential Everclear
Everclear's So Much for the Afterglow is the album that truly defines what Everclear does. There's rock, pop, country and a bit of funkiness on this album. Read more

Everclear's finest effort!
I purchased SMFTA the day it was released (10-7-97) and it has been my favorite cd of all-time since. Beneath the bombastic dark music is a concept that some do not recognize. Read more

Great Album
There are few words that I can use to describe this album. This is the great follow-up album that many bands wish they could do yet don't get the same power. Read more
