Well, since "right" is subjective I won't press the issue, but ... I think you missed my point. The point was if someone says that a Meat Beat album is "unfocused" and refers to "Hey, the masters are all burnt!", then it would make more sense if they meant "Armed Audio Warfare", since that album is by definition a more patchwork affair given that the original masters were toast and it had to be put together in bits and pieces and with replacement bits, etc. On the other hand, "Storm The Studio" has only what, 4 "tracks" total (in essence)? I found that it flowed *incredibly* well, and "unfocused" is about the last thing I would ever think of when describing that album ...

Ah, so when you said "I find it sad he was ever called Industrial" in reality you weren't really referring to them (let's remember, Meat Beat is a "them"), but to their audience. Subtle difference. These things don't bother me as much because in the end, "Words is words, music is music" ((tm) D. R. Goettel 1993). As long as I still like the band, I could care less what the audience looks like or what silly labels it gets branded with ... (Heh hehheh, he said "band" ... heh hehheh hehhehheh heh) - Greg
