Uh, maybe I'm just an oddball but I interpret the statement "Now that
rocks!" to mean that the aforementioned Kraftwerk albums "kick major ass",
"blow my bazooka", "toot my horn", "stimulate my aural pleasure centers",
etc.
Then again, I'm Canadian, so maybe I should qualify this response as a
clarification of Canadian idioms ;).
