It's funny, I think the new album sounds a bit contrived myself.  But I wasn't
really that wild about the last two albums either when I first heard them, so
we'll see.

mode. :-)

IQ often does Mama Mia as an encore.  :-)  Part of their schtick is throwing in
a funny cover for an encore.  It may not come across to the casual observer,
but they take the piss out of themselves on a regular basis.  Here's a partial
list of covers they've done (and check out the OnTopicness! :-)

Ace of Spades (Motorhead)
Glenn Miller Medley
God Save The Queen (Sex Pistols)
Master of the Universe (Hawkind)
Material Girl (Madonna)
'Oh I do like to be beside the seaside'
Relax (Frankie Goes to Hollywood)
School's Out (Alice Cooper)
Suffragette City (Bowie)
Sweet Travestite (Rocky Horror Show)
Tea for Two
Virginia Plain (Roxy Music)
White Punks on Dope (The Tubes)
