Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we look back at the California funk-metal band’s grisly, oozing third album: one of the weirdest and most upsetting records to ever sell more than a million copies.

Time has been good to Dean and Gene’s kidding-not-kidding country pivot, recorded with seasoned Nashville pros, and this triple-disc reissue helps contextualize its joy and incongruity.

With its downcast, gossamer tone, the pop star’s eighth album scans as intimate and experimental even as it retreads familiar territory.

Polishing an already polished sound, Tyla’s second album adds reverb-heavy guitar and electronic production to frothy Afropop and amapiano log rhythms.
