That and the fact it's a genuinely kick-arse album (boasting one of the best singles of the 90s) helps its case as well.
The best bits: Whippin' Picadilly, Make No Sound, Get Myself Arrested
Solid album and very unique in that (to my ears) it doesn't sound British at all. Looking forward to this and I can hazard a guess as to some of your inclusions!
