It's those which haven't heard the album that have already made up their minds that I think Matt and myself were referring to.. Y'know, "it's the Bunnymen, so it HAS to be the album of the year" type thing. As Matt pointed out, that exists mainly on BC.. And Shaz, please don't think I was having a go re: the E-Fix production.. I think we're too defensive towards each other recently.. Honestly, a meet and a beer with Trina and BM is LONG overdue ;-) You're also spot on about the lyrics.. It's all a bit "arty English literature" at times when crude ( style, not words ), clever, and crafty may have been better if you know what I mean... The new album is all over the mininova torrent site.. Hey !! I'm gonna buy at least 2 copies anyway !! Cheers, Stu - --- Shaz wrote: > IMO if people like it then that's good.
