Hey, I'm taking it easy on CN.  You've doubtless read other comments
praising it.  I like White Flags, Dancing, Perfect, and Madness [the
musicianship, forget the gagging lyrics].  This album's doomed due to
the presence of outside writers and the absence of Albert is
oppressingly obvious...

Maybe not weak, certainly stands up very well indeed when
compared
to other bands.  But I'd say weak compared to the first several BOC
albums and Imaginos.


BTW, The new ZZ Top album has the band posing in front of a wall of
ORANGE speaker cabinets...
