You know of course that I disagree with you in the strongest possible terms that don't escalate to a knock-down fight or perhaps a round-the-world balloon race. Absolutely hated it, start to finish. Pretentious crap, and not worthy of the name of this fine band. A total crapfest, massive disappointment and not only that, they ripped off BOC on the riff for "Got no religion".
Other than that, it was fine.
Seriously, I had a big argument with another reviewer on a separate site who thought as you did. How anyone could think this album worth doing anything with other than using it as a frisbee is beyond me. You're entitled to your opinion of course, but you are wrong
--- never gonna see eye to eye (hah!) with anyone who praises this album in the slightest. Almost ruined Asia for me, terrible, terrible album with not a hint of creative thought or interest in doing anything to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the band. I mean, what the
fuck is "Gatto negra" about?
Funny point about the Googling though: top marks there! Hope Lil wasn't with you when the results came onscreen!
