Well, I got a lot of flak for my last attribution line and I wasn't thinking
clearly when I came up with this one.  I haven't thought of anything better
yet.  Too busy.

I have many tests of an album.  Tonsil-vibration factor is one of them.  The
other is Air-Guitarosity.  (Closely related is Air-Drumosity, which usually
applies to the rhythm-intensive stuff I listen to).  Any album which passes
the tonsil-vibration test is a good one.

Nah, I don't think her voice on TSW is up to par.  I just didn't like it as
much.  The Dreaming was the peak.  It's been on a downhill slide since
(although there have been great moments, nothing measures up to the all-holy
Dreaming).

>Sorry, but Skinny Puppy gives me diarrhea.

That's only the ENTIRE POINT.  If you'd ever seen them live, you'd know that
Ogre likes to appear coated in what appears to be mud, blood, shit and gore.

MELODY!?  How old fashioned can you get!  I need say no more.  :)
