Well first, I can't find what you're talking about in my copy, but mine is promotional so I'll excuse it. But I think it's a bit harsh to use the word 'crapola'. I can see being a bit peeved since these are such mainstream films, but you can't expect FSoL to limit themselves to a small 'elite' crowd. I think you have to take what the movies represent, and how they could have come off, instead of what actually was.

A few words that you disagree with, makes two hours of music, garbage?

One thing that I've learned, is that many groups by signing with large labels (yes, astralwerks - caroline - virgin) give away total creative power. Not that this is a special case, because we probably don't know. There is however that fact that remains.

And the funny thing is that after all of these ramblings, I don't like the disc. I think there's about 10 minutes of good music, and I'm glad I didn't buy a copy of it. --- no one said you have to agree with the liner notes. They might offend you, as all words have the power to, but that shouldn't change the music. -Gil
