[kj] GEORDIE'S TRACKS AVAILABLE

[Alexander Smith]

I feel somewhat remiss in joining the chorus of "Nay"s to the Geordie  
tracks so far. I'd love to be able to suspend judgement until the  
finished product is in. That all said, I've only listened to "Angels"  
so far, and was not especially blown away (to put it mildly). The  
guitars are nice, but as someone else said, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get  
around the vocals/lyrics.

Moreover, I can't imagine what audience this is designed for.
