- I agree -- for months I only played "Slack Motherfucker" over and over again.
- IMHO, it's the best of the Side One songs. But Stephen's right about those
- first four songs on Side Two -- listen to them a lot, at high volumes, until
- you get into the lyrics (Jeez, I sound like a Rush fan or something ;-) and
- that's when they really come out as fantastic.
