Steve was great when I saw them in 2016. Loved it when he interpolated the keyboard hook from “Je t’aime.... moi non plus.” Then I shortly found out that his wife was French and that was the first record he ever bought.

I applaud those who voted for "Clowntime Is Over." I for one have paid for the privilege of hearing him singing the title phrase over and over again one too many times.

Fuggen album is so good, I could have voted for any of the 0-vote songs except B-Movie, and I even like that one. Poll for worst?

Revive because of recent reinterest sparked by another EC thread. The slightly demented and brutalized take on Motown Stax/Volt just keeps on going, vaguely reminiscent of an earlier British Invasion.

criminal that "secondary modern" and "the imposter" got zero votes! there was plenty of secondary modern discussion in the other thread, but i love steve nieve's mad organ on "the imposter." it might be the fastest song on an album full of uptempo tracks?

Is there a bad track at all on this one? Guess I have to listen again to find out. "Riot Act" is a helluva closer, although in my past life it was merely the end of Side 1.

I said on the other thread that "I Stand Accused" and "Human Touch" are marginal.
