>You'd almost expect the Brain Surgeons' record release party to be held at

>rock, >guitar pop (producer whiz Don Fleming guests on three songs and
>even plays >theremin for all you Jimmy Page fans out there) and power pop
>(they cover a >Dwight Twilley song). My only real criticism---and I better

>that the CD has so >many different styles of music on it (and so many
