[kj] Why KJ2003 doesn't suck ...

[Mark Kolmar]

You make some good points that, to me, come down to how hard it is
either to recreate an earlier sound and fury, or to develop a new
sound within a set of expectations.  So I think you overstate the
problem.

I got the new single in the mail last week.  I've also heard the MP3s
of the album.  I'd like to hear Jaz use his indoor and church voices
more often.  It gives the material more range, which, by pulling back
a little, gives more peak for the heaviest sections.  The same goes
for humor.  So a track like "Afterburner" is welcome, not to mention
the nicely abstract riff.

If you are insulting Meg White, sir, I will have to ask you to step outside.
