I have to confess that during the parts where the strident one wasn't singing, it sounded pretty great. People who aren't bothered by her horrible voice may be very happy with the new CD. If they ever throw her out of the band, I may have to become a fan. - --dana ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I'm picking it up this weekend, so I'll find out if the original ending (heavily embellished) will be on there. Maybe cosmic justice will finally be served.
