oh man... can't wait to hear this.  But NOT turning down Eartha Kitt to listen to it right now

Good luck getting that out of your head now - I probably should have included a warning

Good call, Greg! It seems that being told to stop trolling and get the hell out of here didn't work, so perhaps we should just bury him under a ton of irony.

Actually Walter is right (something I thought I'd never say). He used artist as a singular so the pronoun should be singular as well.

Yes. I thought as much. You are actually barking mad. Ok. Now I know its safe to completely ignore everything you say.

Actually, he is indeed trolling. It's just that he's so closed-minded that he doesn't realize he's trolling.

I was mildly interested in this band after seeing them appear here and looking at a few reviews.  But after this lengthy and rambling thread, I'm REALLY interested to see what all the fuss (pro and con) is about. So the latest is a good place to start then? The latest and the Crane Wife.

Same here - I will definitely make the latest my next purchase, if only out of sheer curiousity.

Walter has nothing on Karnevil9. Now that guy was a riot. 

We've all fell for Walter's antics at one point or another. Pretty sure he's trolling but maybe just maybe he's genuinely crazy.
