Yeah...I noticed that the day I first posted about it. Never looked that
closely before, I guess. Odd, because I've always loved the cd. "Say
You" is a great melody - even if it is shameless pop. From "Edit the
Dragon" onward, I can't break the sequence. "Arena II" still gives me
chills. Dated? Yes - especially in the 1st part of the album, but it
weathers better that a lot from that era. Given the cut and paste job
they did with ETD, it seems like they'd have to be up to something good
these days. Too bad.
