It contains the single "Shining Road," as well as the promotional singles "Beautiful Friend" and "Lilies."

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "'Shining Road' has an enchanting pop melody and rushing guitar pulse, 'Lilies' flirts with fragile funkiness and 'Paris and Rome' feels like a European music-box waltz. Using odd squeaking noises and distant whammy-bar twangs, 'Beautiful Friend' cunningly fashions an unusual ambient/western hybrid; the title track actually rocks."[4]

gollark: What if CODE GUESSING 17259815?
gollark: What I can easily do is construct a backdoor which nobody else can use, but I don't think that qualifies.
gollark: And practical hidden flaws are more like "if you encrypt 2^16 bytes with the same key it is possible to determine some of the plaintext with slightly higher probability" or known plaintext attacks and such, rather than "hahaha any message whatsoever can be decrypted".
gollark: I have some rough ideas but they'd probably be obvious to anyone competent.
gollark: I would, but I would have to actually know cryptography, which is nontrivial.
