BOC: Article in Seconds Magazine

[John A Swartz]

Troy:

I didn't mean to start a "I like Club Ninja" thread either!  ;-)

I'm a bad judge because I can listen to anything BOC puts out, and
get some level of enjoyment out of it.  I personally prefer some of
the heavier sounding BOC stuff (which is why, despite the silly
lyrics, "Beat 'em Up" is one of my favorite songs on the album!).
The thing is to me is that CN doesn't have alot of tunes on it that
everyone can say they like, and there are a few songs that most people
will tell you they don't like.

I haven't tried this, but I think it can be boiled down to a fairly
simple mathematical formula.  Something like this:  Take any BOC album,
and look at each song.  Give the album a point for every song that
you like on it, and take a point off for everyone that you don't like.
I think some of BOC's albums will get similar scores from almost
everyone.  I'll bet that *Secret Treaties* will score, say, 5 or over
for almost everyone, and I'll bet that *Club Ninja* will probably
score 0 or less for almost everyone (except maybe for Troy, who
claims to like it all, and me, who even likes "Beat 'em Up" ;-)  ).
My guess is that *Mirrors* and *Revolution by Night* will also
score fairly low using this method, although there will be a few
folks that rate *Mirrors* a bit higher.  *Imaginos* will also be
somewhat mixed, but most will rate it over 4 or so.  *BOC* and *Tyranny
and Mutation* will likewise be fairly high, while *AOF*, *Spectres*,
and *Cultosaurus* will be mixed.

But enough of my rambling...
