I loved certain of their tracks -- I think a lot more people were hyped on the Chemicals when they had just a couple of 12" out with storming tracks. Most of what they've done since is either retreads of early tracks, or stuff that just doesn't grab the ear the same way. And we shan't be starting another "elitist vs popular" thread, right? --------------------------------------------------------------------- "i love the smell of new carpet. it makes me dizzy. just like when you fall in love." -- Mike Dvorkin Home Page, featuring Reagan on Black Velvet, the EMP Compilation CD, samples of my music, etc http://soli.inav.net/~kent/ Kent Williams kent@inav.net CADSI 2651 Crosspark Road Coralville IA 52241 (319) 338 6053 (home) (319) 626 6700 x 219 (work) (319) 626 3489 (fax)
