I pretty much agree with your review, but I do dig "The Crystal Lake." I was also surprised that you left out "Jed's Other Poem," which is another favorite. "Miner at the Dial-a-View" is just an insanely good song and I was always amazed at how well they pulled it off live. The things I loved about this one at first (the variety in the songs' tempo and themes, the long opener, the slow builds) have actually caused me to like it less as the years go. Not because its bad because I have heard it too much. In contrast, "Sumday," their later album, is a little more straightforward and still gets rocked pretty regularly, although "Sophtware Sump" (awesome album title by the by) is probably the better album. "Under The Western Freeway" trumps them both in my book but that is for another day.Biff Pocarobahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963683576828172145noreply@blogger.com
