[kj] Democracy

[Alexander Smith]

"Aeon" features an amazing riff, but I've never been a great fan of the production. 

"Savage Freedom" is great from top to bottom. Love the acoustic guitars throughout the record. 

"Intellect" and "Medicine Wheel" I've always liked. 

Don't love the title track. 

"Prozac People" is wince-inducing.
