Well, yeah. *g* I mean, there are whole albums I really don't care about (a lot of mid-eighties stuff just makes me say, mneh). They can do crap just like anyone else, but when they DO, it bothers me more because I know they know how not to do it. Um. You follow?

Anyway, because of this, I was ready for disappointment, so it's not like I was sitting around saying I'd love the album no matter what. Do I love it as much as CF? Probably not, but that's where the sentiment comes in. Plus, I think that CF is one of the finest concept albums ever written, and not a whole lot can touch it. And there's a place in my heart that only those ten songs can have. This album gets to live next door. ;)

I'll write the review, but I have to listen a few more times. A knee-jerk response is what some reviewers are being accused of, and I don't want to do that.
