[kj] Whaaaaaaaattt???

Canadians think it's an underproduced, under-arranged, overcooked steak with all the dynamics of a flat-lining EKG.

I simply don't understand folks who dislike Hosannas. As I mentioned 
before, seems to be mostly European or Brit folks who dislike it, in the 
reviews and Amazon comments I've read, for one. Americans seem to love 
it (like me). Amazon.co.uk -- all the reader/listeners reviews there are 
cranky and dissatisfied. The US Amazon site on the other hand is full of 
glowing, excited listener reviewers. I like the album a lot, from it's 
caustic, all-out sludge-fest of an opener, to it's 2nd song, an 
up-tempo, Discharge-ian thrasher, to the darker industrial stuff. It's 
fuckin' great. Like I said, I just wish the US release had "Universe B" 
on it -- another excellent song!
