Well, I like it! It's interesting to hear how they builded up their songs from their best albums.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

5 different views, all about the same quality. I would
score them all in the 7.5 to 8.5 range and consider
them their best, just ahead of those previous, in
between and after.

Three Friends
Free Hand

Three Friends: 9.5/10 points = 5 stars

Octopus: 10/10 points = 5 stars

In A Glass House: 9.5/10 points = 5 stars

The Power And The Glory: 9.5/10 points = 5 stars

Free Hand: 9.5/10 points = 5 stars

Interview: 8.5/10 points = 4 stars

The Missing Piece: 6/10 points = 3 stars
