Mr. Trout,

Talk about different tastes.

Loveblind, Lullaby, Business Woman, and Authority.

These are 4 of my 6 favorite songs on the album. The other 2 being Two Places at Once and Dead Man's Dreams.

O.K. There may be some cheesiness in Business Woman.

I love the the way Steve alters the meter-if that's the correct term - of the verses in Authority. The first line of the 1st two verses have very few words while the next two verses begin with a mouthful. Clever.

I think Lullaby is one of my favorite Christmas songs. At least that's how I like to think about it. Jesus with a twist.

I like the constant. droning bass on Loveblind. I don't know why it appeals to me. If I heard that type of playing by some other group I'd probably cringe.

As for Disc 2. I can't remember the last time I played it. It is definitely something I wouldn't bring to a desert island. But disc 1 ? Couldn't live without it.

That's my two cents.
