  Well. obviously no bias at all shown here.  :) I can't make up my mind
whether he is right or not.  After all, BOC are not *entirely* sf
oriented, but do indeed do it well.  I suppose the only thing to say is -
idiots should leave opinion out of a potentially good subject.
  I wonder what the lyrical content of the new BOC stuff will be oriented to?
As long as it is not "oooh yeah baby the juice is running down my leg"
(remember that quote fans?) lyrics a'la KISS, it should be fine.
