Can you elaborate? I mean, it's not as if your reply isn't explicit
enough, I just would like to know what you're hearing. I'm by no means
an authority on Laswell, but the stuff I've heard seems to be pretty
good, if not necessarily ground breaking. Is Laswell's playing
specifically poor, or is blame shared all the way around? I'm not being
a smart-ass, I'm really curious, since you obviously have a developed
opinion.
respectfully,

I've always found Stephen Fruitman's "thumbs up" reviews as an indication of a pretty good album. I just bought it tonight based on his positive remarks from yesterday- i'll throw my input this way after I give it a few spins.
