[kj] Extremities

[Neil Perry]

Yeah I know its a lazy phrase... I'm listening to Extremities now and I
chiefly meant
the fast section slapped into the middle of Beautiful Dead for absolutely no
reason that ruins what would
have been a fantastic song, the horrible mess that is Struggle and sections
of the title track.

But Geordie's guitar sounds fucking incredible - was this the last time that
sound we all
know and love was in evidence on a KJ record?

Sorry Jel, no more analysis, promise
