You're not that good
It's just shitty jangle pop with noise on top
listen to it again in two months. that's what i did and i love it now
is shit
I didn't enjoy the jangle + noise combination, but I do appreciate it for being influential to shoegaze.
Also, they led me to experiment with just two drums, you can do a lot with just a kick/low tom and snare in various patterns.

just like honey is at least 10x better than any other song on the album
the best songs are Something's Wrong, My Little Underground, and You Trip Me Up
it was my favorite album when I was 18, and it was the perfect album for what I was feeling then - it combines this icy, numb isolation and pessimism with complete catharsis and aggression of the blasts of noise
it was the perfect halfway point between the noisy, anti-social rage bands (Einstürzende Neubauten, DNA), the empowering "fuck you" optimistic bands like The Stone Roses, and the enigmatic, depressing alt/indie bands like R.E.M. and Rites of Spring.
It led me to the bands I would get into later, from SPK to Fugazi to The Wedding Present, and even stuff I'm into now, some 8 years later, like Grave Babies and Algiers
I don't think any album has been more significant in my musical development, even though I rarely listen to it nowadays, I guess since I don't feel so icy and depressed anymore

I didn't care for it either.

Perhaps if you drink some really good beer, drop some good acid, smoke some good pot, and just open your mind, allow yourself to get lost in the music, and listen to it objectively, you might change your mind.
Then again, I could be wrong........
