Named after a pun on the band’s touring base (Cricklewood, London) and marijuana, this album contains their biggest U.S. hit: "Love Like a Man." The song’s stop-start rhythm and Lee’s staccato solo are iconic. But deeper cuts like "50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain" and the pastoral, melancholic "The Circle with the Hole in the Middle" show a band grappling with fame. It’s a masterpiece of heavy blues and reflective lyricism.
