I was surprised at just how awful they were. Lots of noise; not necessarily joyous. Ian--No angst worse than fake angst. Farley's "responsiblity" seemed to be to act like a drunken fool. Just because your band has a fiddle and an occasional accordian does not make you Band-like. I do agree, though, that "The Big Surprise" and "Greatest Show on Earth", two songs that dropped the noise, were pretty good. Just saw them on the first night of The Big Surprise Tour.
