The lyrics that bug me are the ones on the last three albums where they throw around high-tech and electronic terms haphazardly. Most of the time they don't make any sense in the context in which they use them, so they make the song sound like just a bunch of stupid nonsense. Their music's still okay though. I think "Grace Under Pressure" is one of their best. -- Jeff Richardson, DCIEM, Toronto (416) 635-2073 {linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,floyd}!utcsrgv!dciem!jeff {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!dciem!jeff
