BOC: An Open letter to BOC-L About HF

[BREVARD, Adrian R.]

Dear Memebers of BOC:

I stand here on my electronic soap box to address a matter most urgent.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?  Today is the day when HF is
available to the general public and folks seem to be crying in their
beers.  Am I missing something here?  Last year  when the German record
deal fell through there was great sadness; many felt 3/24/98 would never
come, myself included.

Well the day arrives and yet post continue to flow in about lesser
expectations, opinions that SYIB is derivative and been done before. Get
a grip folks, its here and now so lets party!

If you buy it and think its the second comming of Club Ninja or worse,
so be it and so state it.  You have every right to do so.  But think on
this, BOC after ten years have provided us die hards with something we
have long desired, a new album.  Can't we just celebrate this
achievement?  Can't we just be happy for the moment that Buck still
plays, Eric still sings and Alan still smokes (cigarettes)?

You guys can do what you want and you can say how you feel but I'm
taking this my way.  A major achievement for a band I love, a new album,
when the general public gave them up for dead.  I don't care if its the
worst thing they have ever done, this one is gonna be special {ugly
cover art notwithstanding 8>) }.  As soon as its in my sweaty little
hands, still in its wrapper its gonna be in my top three BOC albums
along with ST and Feet Knees simply because the damn thing exists.

I will not provide a review that says "this effort falls far short of
the glory. power and majesty of Tyranny and Mutation."  Ask me and I'll
say "SYIB rocks.  Harvest Moon kicks ass.  There ain't a bad song on
this suker."

Now stop the damn whinning and get over to your local record store and
buy the damn thing.  Put you mouth and typing fingers wheer they belong
support the band with your wallet/purse but more importantly with your
positive attitude.  It is not that difficult.

Sincerely,

Ghost in the Ruins

Who ain't froogin to no other cd's or even playing a tape unless and
until he got his copy of HF in hand.
