Default Also, Amplified Heart

I agree that Walking Wounded and Tempermental are great; I would add Amplified Heart to round it out. The album doesn't have a bad track. "Missing" is probably the most recognized of EBTG songs; "Walking to Me," "Get Me," and "25th December" are all great. Amplified Heart was recorded after a hiatus for EBTG when Benn Watt was quite ill. (He actually wrote a book about his experience as a patient.) After some time off, they began recording again; I think AH is the transitional album for them; more inspired and mature than work in the 80's, and good prelude for Walking Wounded and Tempermental. Enjoy.
