 Yeah!  Now there's a good point!  Relativity.  I remember when Mirrors came
out here in Aust.  We all went and bought it.  Sure, it was not metal, but
the heavy tracks were awesome and the pop tunes were the best available
anywhere.  All you had otherwise was Styx and Cheap Trick who never were big
over here.  The way the fans saw it here was BOC trying something new, with
the usual exemplary playing from all on deck.  It was well received.
  We wish we were lucky enough to see them live in support of any album.
  I remember that BOC was known amongst those who were not fans as "the band
who had a singer who looked like Jeff Lynne".  How sad.
