Look, they're *supposed* to suck - they built their whole career around
the fact that they suck.  Back when they were a local band in
Western NY, they sold t-shirts that said "Green Jello Sucks".  You
can't hold the fact that they suck against them - it's their defining
attribute!  It's like blaming Sam Kinnison for singing badly on
"Wild Thing".

Actually, _Cruel Sun_ is an awesome album.  I don't think much of
their later work, when they softened it up for the new-age crowd.

Duly noted.
