HW: low points and giving up

[Carl Edlund Anderson]

     HW's current anemia is highlighted by comparison with Motorhead, who
are arguably operating at their peak these days.  There are not a lot of
surprises from Lemmy & Co. musically, but they are consistently turning
out arse-kicking rock and roll without much fucking about.

     HW's recent albums, while they certainly have some moments of
brilliance, have plenty of crap too (and no shortage of fucking about ;)
     As usual, we need only compare DH and HotMG for a few moments before
we may  justly ask "Where has Dave's guitar gone?"  Some of Brock's pieces
are dangerouly closer to space-whinge than space-rock.  In fact, IMO,
Brock's contributions to DH were the most forgetable pieces of the album.

     Ah well.  At least HW've released more than one album in the past 15
years :)

Cheers,
Carl
