OK it was an instore but you'd still think they'd push it a bit more. Siberia tour they had a few in the set at the start of the tour and then fell back to the old faves fairly quickly. Mac solo seems a tad more adverturous so maybe this is the only stuff they can agree on. who knows but i'm even less likely to give a rats arse these days. Some of that new stuff seems quite catchy (the shroud of turin lyrics actually made me laugh, and not in a bad way, they're just mad , but then theres this one litttle riff repeated over and over again that makes the whole thing work) it but if they aren't going to push it they might as well stick it in the bargain bin now.

''do you know who i am'' is really the most banal, rubbish song i've ever heard. i never had a problem with macs often banal lyrics [with a hip / bedbugs and ballyhoo for example] because they were delivered with such dynamics. in fact, i think i preferred the less song structure orientated stuff back in the 80's. it sad but the [not even born until well after ocean rain] bunnymen styled bands do it a lot better [i still don't like 'em though!].
