COTHM: wow!

[Jean-Charles Moriaud]

I got my copy of COTHM finally at lunchtime yesterday.

First, what a shock to see a BOC album in the display where you usually
find anything but BOC... Very nice feeling.

Then I was nervous when walking back to the car, just trying not to
expect too much of this album. I was disappointed, I must admit, by the
previous one, lacking great lyrics and typical BOC songs that for me
makes BOC so special like Veterans or The Vigil...

But hey, this one will stay in my CD player for a while.

First, the bass lines! What a fantastic job Danny put together! Second
the voice. I was never a fan of Buck singing, and I am not too impressed
by "his" songs, but superb job too from Eric. Then the guitars are
perfect, just lacking one solo you'll never forget - maybe on the live
versions. Allen and Bobby are well here too, nice job. I am truly
astonished by the cohesion of the group

Being French, I am basically concentrating on the music at first, just
because I don't get most of the lyrics until I can read them ;-). They
look OK as far as I could understand, but I am sure they are not
matching the ones of the earlier albums. Never mind. This album rocks!

Anyway, I am happy to be able to share my pleasure with the list. I wish
they will tour in Europe as quick as possible.

Pardon my french!

BOC yours,
Jean-Chares Moriaud
