Have to agree with Darrall that BC is just sublime - nothing can compare to that album -
so far AENT lies as my 3rd favourite Church album (2nd is The Church aka OSAH)

Man,

You  don't know what your on about, The Blurred Crusade is one of the best
produced albums ever.
Eisily the best The Church ever got.

Bob Clearmountain might have sold out for big money after The Church but he
did a superb job on  B.C.

I am biased as it's my favourite album of all time.

But to say Richard Ploogs superb drums sound bad! Fuck it,  you need to
listen again.

D.K.
