[kj] You guys are kind of bumming me out

[wscheip1 at aol.com]

Well, Geordie has gone down that road before. I remember him slagging Democracy saying "It sounded like it was recorded in a garage." 
 
I just take it that everyone in the band has a different vision so no one is ever satisfied. Except Jaz for at least 12 months. 
 
From,
Will

>From what I can gather, Raven's absence may not be
permanent. If the circumstances are right, he might
even be back by the end of the year. That's the
impression he gave me the other night. He also really
likes the new album but says the demos are way better
and the end result definately became unfocused.
