I like the first side of _Tales of Mystery and Imagination_, but not the second side. _Pyramid_ left me sort of dry after one listening. _Eve_ is great, too. _Ammonia Avenue_ panders to pop tastes too much as APP tries to live off its reputation. I haven't heard _Vulture Culture_. Has anyone seen the reviews of APP albums in _The Rolling Stone Record Buying Guide_? I believe _I, Robot_ was given three stars (meaning of interest to those liking that type of music) while _Eve_ and _Turn of a Friendly Card_ were given little squares (meaning these should never have been made). Makes me wonder if the reviewer was listening to the same records I was. ----------- Come to the shell for answers. dwayne {akgua, ut-sally}!usl!dkl
