I suppose it's just because BOC have produced quite a few albums which I
don't really care for (just about everything after 'Secret Treaties', with
one or two exceptions, actually). I thought Club Ninja was woeful, and as
this was apparently another album without A.Bouchard, and the cover art
reminded me of some bad-hair 80's metal band, I just couldn't be bothered.
I'm sorry to offend anyone, but I do regard the cover art for an album of at
least some indication of what the band want to convey to you about the
music, and what the artwork (and album title) conveyed didn't look very
promising to me.
