I had this album on cassette, and used to torture my poor flatmate when he had a hangover with the Beach Boys style opening track, Wake Up Boo! Joel, like the rest of the album is a fascinating mix of 1960s and 1990s influences.
Not true!
The journalist claimed that the US didn't get #BritPop because it was quirky and kitchen sink.
I think the US just had better bands. The US had #SlackerRock, pioneered by bands like #Pavement which is not too dissimilar to Brit Pop, just generally better. The difference is Pavement were good and experimental.
Brit Pop was primarily pop and dull, while bands like Pavement mostly shunned the more radio friendly sound - at least initially.
