Replace "bete noire" with "supporter." I thought they were synonymous when in fact, they're opposites. Serves me right for tyrnna get fancy with the French. Thanks, Chris A. Just had a lissen. There's no reason, of course, why anyone should believe me, given my rep as a bete noire of the band, due to the TQD book (altho I still think it's totally objective, apart from the intro.) And a lotta people apparently (and I still say wrongfully) disagree with my assessment as Mac's lyrical/compositional masterwork being "...Life." Whatever. Immaterial. This record is amazing. AMAZING. It's not a "Mac" album (but all you'd want from one is there.) Same regarding Will. It's a Bunnymen record. And by that I mean it's about Mac, Will, a band, and "the Bunnymen"--that thing that you can't pin down, but makes the Buns the Buns. And anyone who thinks it's gonna be the "tastes great/less filling" Bunnymen lite of '87 is gonna walk away with their mangled, pounded heads in their hands. Yr head, NOT yr eyes, will roll. Glorious. Siberia. A fitting location for a band who remain, through twist and shout, hair and pout, shimmy and shake, 2 decades of real with only one real fake, the coolest band in the world. And THAT, kittycatz, is the way the thunder rumbles.

I don't see a direct way to do this on Amazon.com but the UK site has an obvious link to write a review right here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001IMDSI/ref=pd_sxp_f/026-9431617- 8782056 Also, does anyone know what the bonus tracks are on the Japanese release that comes out on August 3rd? http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail.asp?sku=1499011 On 8/2/05, chris adams wrote: > > Regarding my original posting: slight error.

I've been cautiously optimistic on this one. It sounds like there's good reason to be excited! By the way, is it just me or does the pic of Mac on the pop-up window with the tour dates on bunnymen.com remind anyone else of Alex Van Halen? Nevermind. Its probably just me.
