The songwriting duo of Stephan Jenkins and Kevin Cadogan signed the band's first major-label recording contract with Elektra Records in 1996, which was later reported as the largest publishing deal ever for an unsigned artist.

Every song on this album is a hit. I know there have been a lot of incredible albums since the early 60's but this has to rank right up there and I'm not really a radical fan of this band.

I've been reluctant to revisit this particular song for reasons I'll briefly explain, but I'm glad I did if for nothing more than reading many of the comments shared here and feeling led to share my own. This entire album, and specifically this song had a significant impact on my life- more so than I had ever been fully aware of until January of this year (2023). I turned 15 the week prior to this album's release - from that time forward it would hold a permanent spot in my playlist for literal decades to come. Without really understanding early on what the lyrics meant in this song, I would always get this sense that something was manifesting in me through it - specifically each line that mentioned the god of wine. Although I could sense it, I was mostly oblivious to it. At 16 I entered this strange binge drinking cycle that most "normal" people grow out of in college or their mid 20s. I call it strange because even from the first parties I would attend in high school, I was always the last person awake, searching for solo cups or beer cans that may have a few swallows left in them after all the kegs or cases were tapped. I was never a daily drinker, and mostly held a weekend warrior status for a long time as I maintained a blemish free career in the Marine Corps and my professional career since. If not every weekend, it was 2 weeks at the most before I had to drink my face off. This behavior became such part of my identity that I would plan life around the cycle and ensuing hangovers. I'm 41 now and for the last 6 years the cycle had really taken a toll on every aspect of my life. I was being taken to Emergency Rooms on a near monthly basis as the binges were getting heavier and lasting longer and longer in duration. The binges would typically only last for 24 -36 hours, but occasionally would continue for 4 or 5 days without food or water leaving me in a withered and depleted state unable to self-detox. The pattern and behavior had ostracized me from my friends and family to the point I was basically living out of my truck as my wife would no longer tolerate the behavior or the hangovers around the kids. Even through multiple stays in rehab, dozens upon dozens of therapy sessions, AA meetings, and desperate cries and prayers for help, I just couldn't break free from the cycle. I saw no escape and the idea of suicide was becoming more and more appealing. Finally my desperation landed me in a room with a team I was referred to who agreed to meet with me for intercessory prayer. After about three hours of prayer and renouncing a gamut of common generational curses, the team was adamant that through gifts of the Holy Spirit they could and would identify and deliver me from whatever demonic entity had been influencing my behavior for all these years. Through a bit of persistence they called out Dionysus - the "god of wine". He was known by the Romans as Bacchus. The second his name left their lips I went from a state of complete calm to a full blown restless manifestation that had my heart jumping out of my chest and my hands gripping my chair. I let them know what I was experiencing and they began to lay hands on me as they commanded Bacchus and any other demonic entities associated with him to leave me. After a few minutes of vomiting and burping into a trashcan placed between my feet, I had an instantaneous sense of peace and clarity come over me. Revisiting this song and digging into the lyrics, it is clear to me that the sensations I was feeling as a 15 year old kid listening to this song before ever even taking my first drink of alcohol, was a foreshadowing to the torment that would manifest in my life by way of the god of wine. Today I am 120 days free from even a drop of alcohol entering my body or even the slightest desire to drink. Since that night in January my life has been turned inside out and right-side-up I have a relationship with the Lord now that for the past 16 years I had all but gave up on, but He is mighty to save, and worthy of my praise. I'll leave it to anyone who reads this to blast me with doubts and negativity, but if this testimony has a positive impact on even a single person's life, it is worth it for me to take the beating. PS. I still think this is one of the greatest albums of all time!

I am your same age, felt the same way about this song and our drinking careers are so similar its scary. I've been to the hospital to detox once, went to inpatient, and have had multiple relapses, although I never get too drunk anymore because I can't tolerate the hangovers and anxiety. It's slowly getting better but I am still struggling. I used to be a Christian in my late teens but gave up on the idea as I have way too many hangups with the christian religion. I do believe in energy and something greater than us, possibly a creator but that is it so far. Thank you for sharing this. This album has meant something so very special to me. Although I love the song, there is a slight uneasiness when hearing it. I'm glad you found peace.

It is SO MUCH BETTER than any of the crap coming out today, baring a few new cool bands. These guys were real fucking songwriters. I'm glad they're kind of having a renaissance because they are an important band in my opinion. It's the first album I ever bought as an eight year old and ten years later it still may be my favorite.
