  1. wow, go spin. in the title and first paragraph alone, they managed to call him a godfather of something, list how old the band is, and mention robert smith's hair. such originality.

  2. Some of the bad reviews aren't that bad. They are just the reality, spotting the bad points of a decent - not a masterpiece - album.

    They've only listen to UTS or what?

  4. *V resists the urge to make a comment about Dook - err Duke - and decides she will wait until Feb/March for that.* :)

  7. I just listened to it for the first time last night. This morning I had to go to the doctor because I had an erection for 12 hours. Coincidence? I think not.

    Then again I did take a couple of Viagra, but I still think I was just so aroused by the album. It's so experimental and new, and so good.
