>anything on the mighty Dillinja. And anyway, does 3/4's brilliance and
>1/4 very dissapointing make for a really good LP? I don't know...

Hells yes.  I own... let's see... 6 records with that percentage of  
brilliance (Einsturzende Neubauten - Drawings of a Patient OT, Nurse with
Wound - Sylvie and Babs, Codeine - the white birch, Black Moon - Enta Da
Stage, Igor Stravinsky - Rite of Spring/Petrouchka, Skinny Puppy - Last 
Rights (sadly the only worthwhile skinny puppy record... with a name
like that it's hard to be surprised), The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
(just barely), if anyone cares.)

I'm probably forgetting a couple, but not many (as far as I'm concerned,
any percentage of true brilliance makes it a great record.  Something
like My Bloody Valentine's Loveless really only has 2 brilliant songs (to
here knows when and soon) but it's probably one of the best records ever
put out).
