 They are, indeed, too poppy. However, even the worst tracks are better
live - live, they still attempt to rock, live they still play for
their fans. Consider the difference between Coma Divine - does exactly
what it says on the tin - and Signify, which isn't quite up to the same
standards, although still brilliant. The difference now is merely
magnified hugely.

 Which is a shame, especially given how many other people you've either
directly or indirectly brought to appreciate them. (Including me, I'm
told, as I was introduced to them by people who'd been introduced to
them by Jon Jarrett (now my fiance) who went to his first PT gig on
your advice)
