I think I agree with your assessment completely. What I like best about the record today is the singing on tracks like Love of My Life and Bamboozled. The title track is wearying, I couldn't agree more. As is about 20 minutes total which you have already identified. What's left is pretty solid, but in the context of his giant body of work, it's not exceptionally good. It is fun though. And the panty quilt turned out pretty well...if you've never seen photos, google it. It was a kind of crude idea (and bad waste of album space), but the quilt artist redeemed it all.Nigelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078908796780927861.post-18301411095563640822010-05-27T20:50:51.981-05:002010-05-27T20:50:51.981-05:00Actually, what the cat is saying in the Barking Pu...Actually, what the cat is saying in the Barking Pumpkin logo is "Holy Shit".
