The second single "Joy!" reached No. 22 in the UK, but the third single from the album, "Oh Jim", only made No. 47. Disappointing reviews for some of their live shows started a general media backlash. Jones was criticized for his pretentious statements, and the band's whole authenticity was questioned due to his connections with the music press. After a U.S. tour Stone left the band and was on the verge of being replaced by bass player Andy Bell (who had previously been guitarist with Ride and had seen the band play a sell out show in Stockholm. Liam Gallagher heard of Bell's plan and asked him to join Oasis).
