You're right...thank you for setting us less than impressed Seancers 
straight...whatever were we thinking? Heaven's to betsy that someone should 
not find every song on AENT amazing. Poor poor pitiful them. Obviously they 
mustn't be chosen ones and have lucky ears or something.

No

I didn't give it 2/5...I just thought 5/5 would be generous. As for 
Radiotronics, it sounded okay on HOB but on "song for the asking" it  just 
sounds unnecessary...it's a pretty song that would have been just fine 
without it. I can live with it...I'd just rather that that be the end of 
that aural experiment.
Muddy mix...don't think that was me...I was the guy who wished for more 
melodies...I stand corrected, however...I heard them all after I cleaned out 
my ears, changed my stereo, moved to New orleans, smoked a big bong, faced 
North, South, East, West, and re-listened to it one more time.
Actually, I don't mind AENT...there are some very pretty moments and 
gorgeous songs on this album. I *do*, however mind that anyone who dares 
make some critical comments about it is considered an idiot. I love the 
Church...I just don't happen to love the direction of AENT. So, what? Get 
over it. I am. I'm glad Seancers love AENT...personally, I hope they rock 
out a bit more on the next album.

Hans
