But, I would never ever say it "sucks". I reserve that word for albums by "meat loaf" and "poison" or "poison meatloaf" even.


thats kind of what i was saying. "suck" is a heavy label to lay onto anything by the church and completely undeserved according to my definition of "sucks".

tar heel, i understand that you don't dig it, but sucks? there's alot of stuff out there that i don't like but completely respect the efforts and merits of what they are trying, thus they don't suck it's just not to my taste. portishead for example. it doesn't do much for me but i would never say they suck. on the other hand, 80% of what is played on pop radio i find artistically uninspiring, tiresome, spirit crushing, etc...thus they "suck" according to my definition. that was what i was getting at.
