Hi 'Florian'...
I liked your input on 'GAF', but liked more your perception that
it gets discussed/linked with 'Starfish'.
Perhaps it does... sadly.

"Does GAF make Starfish better or the other way around?".
Anything would make 'GAF' better Florian... and 'GAF' makes
every OTHER Church album look better.

My take on the 'GAF'/'Starfish' linkage is that so many Church
fans were introduced to the band through one or the other.
Naturally, most (if not probably all) new fans who'd found the
band through 'Starfish' eagerly awaited for and acquired 'GAF'.
Likewise, 'Starfish' was the logical next choice for fans who'd
been turned onto the band via 'GAF'.

Come to think of it Florian... even I get caught making such
'linkage' between those two albums, if only because I'm still
stumped as to how the band completely derailed after the
near perfection of 'Starfish'.

Cheers friend, Fraulein.
Bliss comes first as a jangling flood ...
