Can\'t agree there.  I think Curse is a strong album, although I wouldn\'t put it
up against much of the \"classic\" BOC. . . but I don\'t think that\'s the point
anymore since we\'re almost 3 decades past the band\'s glory years and two of the
more fiercely creative members have been gone for 20 years.

If CN has anything over Curse, it\'s that Curse doesn\'t have a track as strong
as Perfect Water.  But for that one song, I think CN is more or less a
throwaway album.
