They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6
Active compensatory factors: This album is so good, I bought two copies. Ha ha! Not quite.

It's one of those times that I forgot I already had a copy and bought a second by mistake.
That said, Feeling Strangely Fine (their second album) is a great record! It includes three excellent singles: Closing Time, Singing In My Sleep, and Secret Smile.
Although Semisonic is a trio (John Munson - bass, Jacob Slichter – drums, Dan Wilson - lead vocals, guitars, keyboards), it's Dan who is the main man.
Together, they create an excellent commercial pop sound throughout. Not as powerpop or as willfully inventive as Jellyfish, but in that same ballpark.
Where do they all belong? That's the only Semisonic album I have, but I'd be keen to add their next one - All About Chemistry (love that title song)
