truth be told I'm actually the world's biggest Kayo Dot fan. I've hid it until now. I guess it's time to change my username to "Bizarro By-Tor" or something

I saw a reprinted vinyl of Aerosol Grey and I didn't buy it. Should I?

No.

Buy some Henry Cow instead.

Blame it on the fact that you have multiple personalities.

Or I could change it to Queen By-Tor and REALLY freak people out. Although if I keep bringing that up people will get freaked out anyways

Maybe just more randy then. 

H to He is also epic.  Darkness 11/11 is one of my favourite tracks ever.
The least we can do is smack Alex round the face for his hate of Pawn Hearts is also epic.  Refugees... mmmm!

Lost = best break-up song ever (for me anyhow)
Still Life = how I feel most of the time... existentialism ftw!

Existentialism doesn't fit the Randian philosophy, hence why Alex hateth the VdGG and loveth the Rush.

Reprinted?

Hmmm well yes you should.

If it was an original though... ooooh yes, definitely.  It's worth much more money than any Henry Cow album and well... it's a classic unloved album and needs to be heard.

I meant Lost.

And I was just testing you, after you made your bad Pawn Hearts error.

Killer is on H to He though... not so keen on it as I used to be but it's still better than anything by Frost*.

Killer is my least favorite VDGG track.

Hell, most of prog is on the left on the political spectrum, whereas my views don't correspond at all. Although, I must admit... the lyrics in VDGG don't help my opinion. Though it's primarily the music. I don't care nearly as much about the lyrics if the music is amazing enough to warrant sub-par lyrics. If not, then the lyrics do stand out more. Luckily VdGG are amazing and unique on both fronts. Nobody else has lyrics like them. Nobody else sounds musically like them. And both are epic. I don't need terrible Neil Peart lyrics.

I personally love Peart's lyrics and think Hammill's aren't good at all, but that comes down to us being different people.

I'd rather buy something that I'll actually get good use out of for my own personal intake. That's what I just said. I said it's worth a more but musically it's fantastic.  It may sound odd but I've heard The Aerosol Grey Machine more than any other VdGG album.  It's hard to explain why that is.

I have all of VDGG's albums and that one is definitely an oddity in their collection. I don't like it, but not for the same reasons as if I didn't like their other ones.

It is an interesting start for them, really.
