Tim,
You are one wise individual!  Consider us poor BOCers.  We never get
ANY records, good or shitty!  At least HW, while inconsistent,
continue to put out new material [or old] for their fans'
consideration.  I think I speak for most all BOC fans in wishing we
at least had the option to trash a new album every once in a while.
I'd consider myself one lucky soul if there were as many BOC albums
out there to debate as there are HW...
