you know, that's how I felt on the first and second listen. But later while driving home from a rave, and still affected by some lsd I listened to it again whilst driving home. May I say that it was a whole different experience that brought out a different side to the LP. Its not wonderful straight or otherwise. Course, different strokes for different folks. --,__ (mRay) z943159@corn.cso.niu.edu
