Will's guitar is fantastic especially on "Parthenon Drive" where there is a Beatlesesque bit that sounds like someting off Revolver. The Intro to that song is also old Bunnymen style which is great. I like the voice overlap on "All Because of you days". Anyway, I think it's the best album since "Evergreen" !

It's not. 3) There's no "The Killing Moon", possibly the Bunnymen's most popular song (aside from Lips Like Sugar) 4) No photos of the band, just a photo of the sea. There's probably more, but I grew more angry after each mistake found, I left the disc on the dining table. - -- Charles Pham charlespham@gmail.com YIM: charlespcharlesp AIM: PicturesOnMyWall 323.273.1550 ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://www.villiersterrace.com * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=1-887128-89-6 * ====================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2005 14:34:07 -0400 From: Brian Andersen Subject: Re: seven-seas Seven Seas Platinum CD sounds like a sloppy package thrown together to coincide with the release of Siberia.
