So Yemen might ban child marriages. Yes, indeed they might consider this.
Just maybe. They are not really sure in fact, but maybe Yemeni parliamentarians might consider to pass a law banning kids being forcefully pushed into marriage.
Maybe when they got a moment they might wanna talk about this law. Just maybe. We are not speaking about a headline saying ‘Yemen outlaws child marriages’. No, just maybe.
Mad beyond madness. Delirium.
Hundreds of mothers protested outside parliament in the capital Sana’a recently to demand a halt to this barbaric practice. And in defiance of sanity, two days earlier there was a large march to oppose such a ban. Kick that. The opponents, to no surprise, are conservative Islamists. They already have an image problem, but just seem to like walking on the path of ridiculousness. A path of oppression. A path where human rights are just a daydream.
So a whole bunch of Yemenis just love it that kids are being out-married like cattle. Like possessions. And the US is supporting such a country in its war against Al Queda related fighters. Who is barbaric and retarded here? Al Quada or those Yemenis supporting child marriages? It’s evil vs evil. A competition in madness.
In the women’s march there was a lady who got married at the age of 8 (!!!!) to a 28 year old man. How nuts is that? Barbaric. Crazy. Unacceptable. Torture. Sick. Empty the buckets of vomit please.
The law under discussion would fix the age threshold for marriage at 17 for girls and 18 for boys. Don’t get it why there is this difference between the sexes, but anyway a galactic improvement from the existing practice. But the law isn’t law yet as many conservative, Islamist members of parliament are opposing it fiercely. They seem to like barbarism. They say it is un-Islamic to fix a legal marriage-age. Religion again used for madness. Religion as a tool to own, use, abuse, violate, hurt,....
Last September a 12 year old girl died in childbirth in Yemen. How about that?
Human behaviour is often very sickening. Very!
So the US health care reform plan got voted. An American revolution.
But it seems some Americans don’t understand democracy nor are they politically tolerant. A majority of US representatives voted for the bill – otherwise it would not get passed. For sure you can protest about it and organise marches and rant on blogs. But this bill has passed all the democratic requirements in place, so democracy did what it had to do. But some Americans seem to have taken protest a step too far and too dirty and too undemocratic by throwing bricks through windows of Democrats and cutting a propane line at the home of the family of a congressman.
These are ridiculous tactics that don’t belong in a democracy. Probably these same perpetrators would scream and shout about thuggish behaviour when this would happen in an African or Arab state.
Probably very few citizens (if any) read the 2500-ish pages of the bill. Most of the screamers and shouters probably just base their anger on over-simplified, biased media and blog articles. And on their own narrow minded conviction of what freedom means. And on top of that for some it comes from a black president. The ultimate disgrace.
So for some communism has arrived in their living room. The US might have won the cold war in the 20th Century, but the 21st Century is a different beat. China is becoming the driving force on this planet (sadly), and now this health care reform has introduced communism within the US. The ultimate defeat. So load the guns and read some Bible passages because evil has arrived. Big evil. Dark evil. Monster evil. The evil within. Traitors. Red whores. Anti-Americanism. Americans will soon be all enslaved and tortured and all their freedoms taken away by the communists from the Obama camp. May the Lord come and save America! First a black president and now communism. It’s truly the end of the world. Isn’t there something in the Bible about the end of the world and the return of Jesus? Well I guess some in the US think that time has arrived. So they gather in their churches and peep through the windows awaiting their saviour. Pray and sing and burn candles. Because for sure, the Lord has to be against this health bill. I mean, really!
Millions of Americans can’t afford health care. It’s health care for the rich and f*ck the rest. Nice that in the US of A people need to mortgage their home to be able to get their kids a needed operation! Is that the type of so called civilisation America should stand for? Is that progress?
This has nothing to do with communism. Nor socialism. Nor state control of what you do and what you want. This is about decency for those that can’t afford the basics of a civilised society. These systems work in the UK and continental Europe, why not in the US? Will it bring extra administration? Probably it will. So what, it’s the good of its goal that is the matter. And it won’t stop the middle and upper class from going to whatever doctor and clinic they want. You still can do your botox and lift your tits.
Debates on policy are great and necessary, but people should put it into perspective and stick to reality instead of blindly and dumbly spreading brainless vitriol. So get real, stay honest and debate in a democratic, wise fashion. That is part of a civil society!
And what is freedom exactly? The type of ultimate freedom is chaos, because ultimate freedom cannot have society rules. So traffic regulations are anti-freedom. Alcohol ban for under age youngsters is anti-freedom. Whoever decided to have 4 seasons per year and 24 hours in a day is anti-freedom. Must be communist plot! Gun laws are certainly a left wing conspiracy. Community regulations are totally anti-freedom. The fact that killing your neighbour is a crime is in fact anti-freedom. So there can’t be murderers or rapists because they were acting out their ultimate freedoms. Get real!
Oh and of course that child marriage ban under discussion in Yemen is anti-freedom too!
Human behaviour is a strange cocktail.
Throw out. The Flatliners from Canada are about to release their new album “Cavalcade”. I got the luck to get an advance copy and it rocks! Interesting that these lads played ska fused punkrock in their early years and now have shifted to straight forward powerful punkrock without much of a ska beat left. Like the new tunes.

Bastards in the Vatican
Kick that. It reads like a Hollywood movie. Maybe something for Tarantino!
According to documents, recently made public, at the British National Archive, it seems that the Hitler freaks from Nazi-Germany had plans to infiltrate the Vatican. They were planning to send spies dressed up as monks into the holy HQ. Monks with swastikas! Aryan monks undercover for the fatherland.
It’s really made for a a Tarantino movie! “Bastards in the Vatican”
The documents were put together by the British James Bond crowd – MI5. According to the British intelligence service the plan was made up in 1943 at a time that the allied forces were advancing, slowly, through the Italy of madman Mussolini. The German Nazi forces were busy evacuating from the Italian capital Rome under the famous withreat tactic of “leave while you can”.
And thus as Rome would be Nazi-free soon, the Germans wanted to plant some monk-spies inside the Vatican to try to keep a foot in Italian affairs. A real thriller!
But, according to MI5, the 6 spies coming from Berlin were uncovered before their mission could really get of the ground because the real monks felt that the spy-monks’ knowledge about Christian faith was disturbingly weak. And also (!!!) that the would-be-monks were too interested in the opposite sex. Well for Germans camping out in Rome and trying to control their libido amidst all those beautiful Italian ladies is indeed a mission impossible. Torture. And then again maybe also that already back then the Vatican had issues with paedophili a and thus just mentioning the reality of the existance of women might right away be suspicious. But still, you would have expected much better spy-101 knowledge from the Germans. Seriously disappointing!!
And so it ended. Somebody in the Vatican expressed his doubts of the 6 newly arrived German monks to an Italian cop. This cop, who clearly didn’t belong to the Hitler fanbase nor the Mussolini supporters group, informed the British agents. And that was the final breath of this crazy Nazi monk-plan.
Please Tarntino recognize and realise the fantastic opportunity here. A blockbuster guaranteed. Nazis, dressed as monks, undercover in the Vatican but with hard-ons and not knowing the names of the Apostles. It’s just perfect drama for the big screen!! Too good to be true. “Bastard in the Vatican” coming to screen near you.
History can sometimes be the perfect script for an entertaining movie.
But sometimes not. So the US sends its vice president to put new batteries in the Middle East peaceplan. The roadmap with too many potholes. But as Biden crisscrosses Israel and Palestine, the Israeli authoritie sthink it’s a great opportunity to announce the construction of more settlements in East Jerusalem.
How tall is that Israeli stiff middle finger to Biden, Obama and the whole world (besides the hardline Jews living here and there obviously). I mean, you want peace or you just keep fueling the flames of hate? The Israeli superiority mentality is just mindblowing. Didn’t they really learn nothing from the Aryan white power craze back in the 40s?
It’s madness on a grand scale. It’s apartheid. It’s racism from the upper-shelve. It’s inhuman. It’s Jewish fascism. It’s disgusting. It’s immoral. It’s criminal. It’s unjust. It’s plain wrong. As imple as that.
Resist and revolt against this madness.
Human behavior is plain cruel. The victims of the past have become the oppressors of the present.
And then they wonder why Palestinians wanna blow themselves up. Also a dispicable act when innocent shoppers or Pizza-eating civilians get killed, but the hatred is just fueled and fueled and fueled. Circle of blood.
So sex-maniac Tiger Woods is going onto the greens again. The return is set for the Masters. It’s gonna be a media hype from hell. It’s gonna be all scripted, PR-managed, over-hyped, over-done, over-broadcasted to extreme boredom. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Zimbabwe, Chile, Haiti, Toyota, Obama’s health reform bill, Israel, Palestine, Iran, North Korea, Sandra Bullock and her unfaitfull biker who loves a girl who loves tattoos (lots of them) and breasts implants,.... all of that wiped of the frontpages and headlines by Mr Woods himself. Ridiculous but you gotta give the masses the drugs they need. Just like the gladiator games in Roman times. Give the masses their games or they go nuts.
Meanwhile one of Tiger’s many many sex sidekicks has made public several text messages between her and Tiger. And Tiger-boy seems to like some spanking stuff. Controlled Tiger on the greens is not so controlled when he hits the sack (or the backseat of a car). Mr Golfing-role-model has a different beat when he is of the course. Juicier.
Anyway it’s going to be so overdone and over-explained and over-hyped that all sense of reality is really out of the door. Gutter vibes.
Is Woods returning to play golf because his bankaccounts have hit a snag as sponsors have withdrawn and he has some legal bills to pay? And the rehab bills too? Did that sex-rehab work? We’ll know soon for sure. Can Tiger refrain his libido from going wild and astray? A Tiger on the hunt.
Human behaviour is too often plain and dumb.
Throw out. LA-based Irishmen Flogging Molly (I think there is 1 woman in the band too!!) have released an amazing live album (and DVD) simply called “Live At The Greek Theatre”. It magically captures their gig in LA last year. A great record with an absolute perfect production. A whirlwind of great Celtic punkrock.

So the Iraqi elections went well. Well despite the 30 or 40 people that got killed, that is.
It’s bad and good at the same time. Many feared a serious bloodbath and a seriously disrupted poll, and thus those that hoped to kill of Iraqi democracy there and then failed. Sad but true, but 30 or 40 so people killed on such a key day is for Iraqi standards very low. Sad that when 30 to 40 innocent people get slaughtered on and around election day, the world says it’s a success,... but the sad state of affairs in Iraq makes that indeed a success. Says a lot about how low the state of the nation there is really, and how far up the mountain Iraq still has to climb to become a “normal” society.
At least the election success brings hope for the many fathers and mothers and loved ones awaiting their army sons and daughters and loved ones to return home from the sandpit. It should help the exit strategy.
It’s time for the Iraqis to pick up the pieces, unite and built their future. It’s time they all think about their kids’ future. A better life for the next generation instead of fighting proxy wars based on ethnicity, religion, past hatred and today’s alliances. Break the spiral of death and think about tomorrow for real.
Human behaviour needs hope.
As Iraqis vote for their future, Hollywood celebrates the Oscar for best movie to The Hurt Locker – the trials and tribulations of a US bomb squad in Iraq. From the Persian sandpit to the red carpet in Los Angeles. Celebrations.
Human connectivity. Would the Hollywood stars really know that Iraqis were voting that same day?
How sick can you get? Mentally sick. Loose wires in the head.
Several men gang raped an ambulance medic in a township in South Africa. How sick is that? The ambulance was called out to treat a child from burn wounds when the 3 sick criminals attacked the female medic as she was helping the kid. They dragged her into the bushes and raped her. Her female collegue was held down at the same time. Then these lesser-than-animals escaped the scene with the ambulance. How totally insane is this? Madness of the purest kind. Evil of the purest kind. These monsters need to be caught, castrated and locked away for life. And make sure the other inmates know what they have done. Monsters like that deserve to suffer for the rest of their miserable life. Disgusting!!
Human behaviour is sometimes worst than the lowest form imaginable.
Toyota seems to have more and more trouble with more and more models in more and more countries worldwide. The image of the near-perfect company seriously dented. A crash when quality had to give in for quantity and speed of production. Damaged and more than just an issue of a new lick of paint. Toyota doesn’t come automatically anymore with satisfaction guaranteed.
It’s that human touch that caused the crash.
So about 500 people got slaughtered in northern Nigeria. Very déjà vu unfortunately. Christians vs Muslims. The eternal fault line of madness. When religion brings the human race down to insanity, cruelty, barbarism and lower-than-animalistic behaviour. You would think that as we move on in the 21st century we would grow up, learn, get smarter, get more civilised,.... but none of that.
Humans remain very very very basic creatures. Technology takes leaps on the road of progress. Humans don’t.
From blood in the Nigerian dust to breast milk in NY. Sounds totally nuts but possible as all happening here and now on this round planet. It’s all about human liquid.
A chef in a trendy, so called hip-cool restaurant or super trendy bistro in NYC thought to take the hip-cool thing to the next level. And the sky is the limit when it comes to trying to out-do your competitors. And, for sure, in the Big Apple and during a recession it’s a tough world out there in the resto business. The gloves are off. It’s do or die. Even if the ‘do’ is over the edge.
So, this NY chef introduced cheese made from breast milk! His wife’s breast milk!! Chef Angerer from Klee Brasserie in NY’s Chelsea district indeed put “human cheese” on the menu. Desperation to make some headlines and attract some customers? And Angerer said that it tastes like sweet cow milk. Did he tell that to his wife? Is she now the official cow of the bistro? The Chelsea cow. And what if a customer demands to suck it straight from the nipple there and then?
It’s kind of over the top. But over the top is hip-cool and trendy and makes headlines and thus brings customers and thus extra cash. And that is of course the goal of it all. My wife’s breast juice for cash.
Apparently NY Health Chiefs aren’t too pleased and advised Angerer to keep his wife’s breast milk out of the bistro and exclusively for their little toddler.
Right on. Don’t go over the edge for some public relations stunt. Maybe concentrate on getting that perfect steak or that lovely Minestrone right to perfection.
Human behaviour remains an unlimited source of inspiration. It comes with piles of stupidity, but hey, we’re only just humans.
Throw out. Nothing new in the car-iPod recently. Some Mark Lind, some Rise Against, and some Killing Time. But the months ahead look promising. Live album by the almighty Boston Irish punkrockers of Dropkick Murphys next week. Then lesser-known Greg MacPherson will release “Mr Invitation”. Still this month should see the new K’S Choice too. Great Belgian band around US resident Sarah Bettens. April should deliver new material by NY hard-hitters Sick Of It All, as well as the “fearless love” album from Melissa Etheridge. Good times are coming.

God's killing spree
Bastard! A man in South Africa hung his dog till death because he/she stole a piece of meat that was lying around.
Cruelty of mankind is appalling. Maybe we should hang that man for a piece of cake of his own taste.
Some good news after this murder story.
The Colombian constitutional court rejected the presidential request for a referendum on his possible third term in office.
No way. Don’t use a democratic referendum to rape the constitution for an anti-democratic third term in office. The two term limit, valid in most presidential democracies, is there for a reason. It’s to avoid abuse and so called life-long presidencies as is typical for dictators around the globe.
Even if current Colombian president Alvaro Uribe maybe doing a good job (according to some), he still gotta stick to the rules of the democratic game as spelled out in the constitution of his country. Constitutions are the holy grail of stability and democracy. Cause once you allow to fool around with the constitution to stay longer in the presidential palace then you are on a very slippery slope. A slope that only goes downhill. Next is the “need” for a fourth term. Then he will want to stay in office indefinitely so called “for the benefit of the nation”. And after that it’s to put elections on hold for so called “stability reasons” and put his son at the head of a newly created presidential guard. At the same time trade unions are banned “for stability of the nation” and tough media laws are put in place “to protect the State”.
Next his presidential convoy is enlarged from 5 4x4s to 25. And all people need to bow their heads as the convoy cruises through Bogota. And on we go to full dictatorship where parliament is sacked and sent packing “to protect continuity and stability”. The army gets pay rises, gold mines taken over by generals and oil refineries run by the Armani-wearing son-in-law. And new money is printed with the face of the president on it. It’s all very déjà-vu. Ask the Africans, amongst others.
And that’s that. The rot has set in.
From a failed third term in Colombia to Europe’s stallion-prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. The Italian business mogul wouldn’t reject a “power-for-life” option. He just loves the spotlight.
Anyway, Silvio is still embroiled in several fraud trials and has now said that Italian prosecutors and judges are like the Taliban in Afghanistan. Silvio’s never afraid for some farcical statements to distract from the fraudulent facts. Classic tactics. Act like a clown to veil reality. The populist in all his glory.
Maybe he should read up on reality and realize that the Taliban are far from defeated, despite the glorious Italian forces helping the US and NATO in that forsaken land. Wonder how many Italian troops are in Afghanistan and what they are doing there, because we know about US and British troops on a new offensive in the south. We know Belgian C130 pilots are flying in and out. We know the Canadians are there. We know Germans are busy up north. We know Dutch troops are there too because the Dutch coalition government just collapsed because of a disagreement on the exit strategy and more importantly the exit date. But what are the glorious Italians doing? Maybe chasing local ladies? Maybe in the kitchen? Maybe watching football/soccer on TV?
Politicians remain made of the same cloth everywhere in the world. Be it in drug infested Columbia, or touristic Italy. They are a specific abbreviation of the human species.
From politics to brainless women with fake breasts, fake eyelashes, fake hair, fake tans, fake dreams, fake happiness, and maybe even fake sex. The world of 5-stars fake-ness. Dumb, dumber and fake. The Miss-world of hot air and too much lipstick.
One of its cheapest products has decided to act real for 3 seconds and let all stupidity out in the open. Miss Beverly Hills said on numb-TV, aka Fox TV, that God wants all gay people to die.
As simple as that. Miss Beverly Hills has the divine knowledge of God’s intentions. Miss Beverly Hills is the disciple of God’s anti-gay crusade. God is good. God is great. God is almighty. And God is on a killing spree. Of course, for the sake of humanity!
And while you’re at it, probably God has also laid out to Miss Beverly Hills his/her/it (??) genocidal plans to rid the planet of all Muslims, obviously also all lesbians (falls in the gay slaughter category), all Toyotas, all environmentalists, all non-conservative politicians, without doubt all Chinese commies that are about to take over the world, all AIDS sufferers (cause they are all gay, right?), all Cubans, those funny looking Buddhists and Krishna followers, the French probably too, all teachers that don’t start classes with half an hour of prayers,.... Lots of ‘cleanup‘ work to do!
Maybe Miss Beverly Hills should just shut up and walk to Venice beach for some fake poses for tourists’ photographs. Bible and a beach towel at hand.
Human stupidity is a constant.
From very ridiculous to very serious. 2010 Has really started with a vengeance. Is the planet reacting against the fact that the climate summit in Denmark last December didn’t deliver the goods to curb global warming? Kicking and screaming.
Devastating earthquake in poverty stricken Haiti. Port of Prince wiped of the map. Historic snow storms across the US and Europe. Earthquake in Chile. Violent weather battering Europe. And we’ve only done 2 months so far. Better put your helmet on!
Good news to end it all. News of hope and the good use of advanced technology.
German carmaker Volkswagen announced it is planning to roll out an electrical Golf model in 2013. That’s just 3 years away. The VW Golf is an immensely popular car across Europe and further away. So an electrical model, mass produced, is really great news. Well done VW!!
Sometimes humans produce sparks of hope.
Throw out. Punkrocker Tony Sly has just released an acoustic-based solo album called “12 Song Program”. Tony’s been in the rock scene for ages with his band No Use For A Name. He’s done acoustic stuff before in projects with fellow punkrockers, but if I’m not mistaken this is his first fully fledged solo album. I like acoustic tunes. Not always and not every day, but when it’s well done it’s welcoming. Tony’s efforts here are somewhere in the middle. Not a bad album but it doesn’t blow me away. Give it a try.

The Colombian constitutional court rejected the presidential request for a referendum on his possible third term in office.
No way. Don’t use a democratic referendum to rape the constitution for an anti-democratic third term in office. The two term limit, valid in most presidential democracies, is there for a reason. It’s to avoid abuse and so called life-long presidencies as is typical for dictators around the globe.
Even if current Colombian president Alvaro Uribe maybe doing a good job (according to some), he still gotta stick to the rules of the democratic game as spelled out in the constitution of his country. Constitutions are the holy grail of stability and democracy. Cause once you allow to fool around with the constitution to stay longer in the presidential palace then you are on a very slippery slope. A slope that only goes downhill. Next is the “need” for a fourth term. Then he will want to stay in office indefinitely so called “for the benefit of the nation”. And after that it’s to put elections on hold for so called “stability reasons” and put his son at the head of a newly created presidential guard. At the same time trade unions are banned “for stability of the nation” and tough media laws are put in place “to protect the State”.
Next his presidential convoy is enlarged from 5 4x4s to 25. And all people need to bow their heads as the convoy cruises through Bogota. And on we go to full dictatorship where parliament is sacked and sent packing “to protect continuity and stability”. The army gets pay rises, gold mines taken over by generals and oil refineries run by the Armani-wearing son-in-law. And new money is printed with the face of the president on it. It’s all very déjà-vu. Ask the Africans, amongst others.
And that’s that. The rot has set in.
From a failed third term in Colombia to Europe’s stallion-prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. The Italian business mogul wouldn’t reject a “power-for-life” option. He just loves the spotlight.
Anyway, Silvio is still embroiled in several fraud trials and has now said that Italian prosecutors and judges are like the Taliban in Afghanistan. Silvio’s never afraid for some farcical statements to distract from the fraudulent facts. Classic tactics. Act like a clown to veil reality. The populist in all his glory.
Maybe he should read up on reality and realize that the Taliban are far from defeated, despite the glorious Italian forces helping the US and NATO in that forsaken land. Wonder how many Italian troops are in Afghanistan and what they are doing there, because we know about US and British troops on a new offensive in the south. We know Belgian C130 pilots are flying in and out. We know the Canadians are there. We know Germans are busy up north. We know Dutch troops are there too because the Dutch coalition government just collapsed because of a disagreement on the exit strategy and more importantly the exit date. But what are the glorious Italians doing? Maybe chasing local ladies? Maybe in the kitchen? Maybe watching football/soccer on TV?
Politicians remain made of the same cloth everywhere in the world. Be it in drug infested Columbia, or touristic Italy. They are a specific abbreviation of the human species.
From politics to brainless women with fake breasts, fake eyelashes, fake hair, fake tans, fake dreams, fake happiness, and maybe even fake sex. The world of 5-stars fake-ness. Dumb, dumber and fake. The Miss-world of hot air and too much lipstick.
One of its cheapest products has decided to act real for 3 seconds and let all stupidity out in the open. Miss Beverly Hills said on numb-TV, aka Fox TV, that God wants all gay people to die.
As simple as that. Miss Beverly Hills has the divine knowledge of God’s intentions. Miss Beverly Hills is the disciple of God’s anti-gay crusade. God is good. God is great. God is almighty. And God is on a killing spree. Of course, for the sake of humanity!
And while you’re at it, probably God has also laid out to Miss Beverly Hills his/her/it (??) genocidal plans to rid the planet of all Muslims, obviously also all lesbians (falls in the gay slaughter category), all Toyotas, all environmentalists, all non-conservative politicians, without doubt all Chinese commies that are about to take over the world, all AIDS sufferers (cause they are all gay, right?), all Cubans, those funny looking Buddhists and Krishna followers, the French probably too, all teachers that don’t start classes with half an hour of prayers,.... Lots of ‘cleanup‘ work to do!
Maybe Miss Beverly Hills should just shut up and walk to Venice beach for some fake poses for tourists’ photographs. Bible and a beach towel at hand.
Human stupidity is a constant.
From very ridiculous to very serious. 2010 Has really started with a vengeance. Is the planet reacting against the fact that the climate summit in Denmark last December didn’t deliver the goods to curb global warming? Kicking and screaming.
Devastating earthquake in poverty stricken Haiti. Port of Prince wiped of the map. Historic snow storms across the US and Europe. Earthquake in Chile. Violent weather battering Europe. And we’ve only done 2 months so far. Better put your helmet on!
Good news to end it all. News of hope and the good use of advanced technology.
German carmaker Volkswagen announced it is planning to roll out an electrical Golf model in 2013. That’s just 3 years away. The VW Golf is an immensely popular car across Europe and further away. So an electrical model, mass produced, is really great news. Well done VW!!
Sometimes humans produce sparks of hope.
Throw out. Punkrocker Tony Sly has just released an acoustic-based solo album called “12 Song Program”. Tony’s been in the rock scene for ages with his band No Use For A Name. He’s done acoustic stuff before in projects with fellow punkrockers, but if I’m not mistaken this is his first fully fledged solo album. I like acoustic tunes. Not always and not every day, but when it’s well done it’s welcoming. Tony’s efforts here are somewhere in the middle. Not a bad album but it doesn’t blow me away. Give it a try.
