despite being a rather ruthless parody (as much of their 90s stuff was), it's almost 20 years later and this seriously stands up better than virtually anything else in the genre, then or now. the production still blows virtually everybody else out of the water, and nobody's really managed to get that big stadium rock anthem sound in the way they were consistently so good at...

all those subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, guitar effects are taking the instrument into the digital universe in a way that had really not been done previously, and has rarely been done since - especially not in pop music.
