Bizarre that the last album was like that, yet that the live shows in 
the States get described as wall of blanga and screaming guitar.  Sounds 
like some musical schizo action (or perhaps just indecision) is going on 
in Ed's head.  (You'd think he could at least play the bass parts on the 
album himself!)

Sounds cool -- I googled for the web site, but it seemed to be having 
hiccups and wouldn't let me in.  They got any downloadable live audio or 
studio samples?

Cheers,
Carl
