Why this album works

The album marked a significant moment for Ivy as it garnered positive reviews and helped solidify their presence in the alternative rock scene of the early 2000s. Notably, 'Edge of the Ocean' became a staple on various playlists and radio stations, expanding their audience and establishing them as influential figures in the genre.
Career context
When 'Long Distance' was released in 2000, Ivy was transitioning from their earlier sound rooted in indie pop to a more polished alternative rock style. This third album followed their previous work, 'Apartment Life,' which showcased their signature melodic charm but lacked the mainstream reach that 'Long Distance' aimed to achieve.
