Throwing Copper will always recall certain memories of a particular time during my life, and so will always have a special place in my musical collection, but that isn't the only reason I think it's great. These are some compellingly well written songs that stay with you, are emotionally powerful, pretty thought provoking if you let them be and all work together to make a great, complete rock album.

If you're a fan of Live, you're probably well aware of this album as it was something of a peak in their career that they never really were able to match again. If you're not a fan, than this is definitely the album to start with as I think it is worth having in any rock collection. I'd recommend it highly to anyone who is into the alternative era and modern rock with some depth, if not to all rock fans.

It may have special meaning for me, but I think Throwing Copper will stand the test of time as one of the best albums from the alternative era.
