As far as UDS, I really enjoyed it. Considering that it started as a goof, I think it turned out to be what sounds like a very therapeutic romp for Mssrs. Currie and McDermott. They genuinely sounded like they were having fun. Which is all that really counts. Whether we like it or not is secondary. As far as coming off as sarcastic, bitter, etc.-I'm not sure it's reasonable to assume someone's art reflects their external personality. None of us really know Justin; he could be Mr. Happy all the time for all we know. I have a hunch that he's sick of all the negativity/sameness in some of his past work and is just experimenting in some new directions. 20 years on the same job is bound to make one a little itchy. I do have to agree with alot of you that I prefer DA to UDS, though. Everyone have a wonderful holiday season and I look forward to lurking again next year!

It may well be interesting checking out the credits on R.K.'s next album. ------------------------------ End of oppositeview-digest V5 #180 **********************************
