useful information
Stylistically, the album, unlike the successor, can be classified as indie rock . With America was reached for the first time in the band's history No. 1 on the British charts. The song was also released in the rest of Europe, but could not reach a top 10 place there. The subsequently published songs Before I Fall to Pieces , I Can't Stop This Feeling I've Got and Hold On could no longer build on this success.
