What a great album. "I Alone" just came on my iPod. Some seriously great songs on that CD, with Lightning Crashes, All Over You, and Selling the Drama. Too bad Live never were able to come close on there subsequent albums, because that album was great. I couldn't take "Secret Samadhi" seriously with some of those songs.

Fantastic album. Best of 1994 IMO.

The bald angel in the Lightning Crashes video is LDS. She used to come to my ward when she was visiting her aunt and uncle. She really is bald too. She has no hair at all because of some condition. But she is beautiful and she'd wear these awesome wigs.

Word.

I remember being at a New Years Eve party with the X96 1994 year-end countdown, and thinking what a great music year it had been. Everything from the Rollins Band's Liar to Liz Phair to Nirvana.

I was such a weenie, musically, back then. I was big on this pretty soft stuff (Aztec Camera, Waterboys, Dream Academy - good stuff, but really wimpy).

I've repented somewhat. Although to me, Henry Rollins is just some guy they keep interviewing on VH1 shows, my favorite listens these days are White Stripes, Blue October, and Foo Fighters.

The Live album is on my list to get, though. There are some great songs on there that I've only recently come to appreciate fully.

6teen Stone from Bush... talk about another band that had one huge album and dissipated afterwards. Razorblade Suitcase was a huge letdown, although I find myself still listening to "Swallowed" and "Mouth".

Lakini's Juice was listenable off of Samadhi. The one that REALLY ruined that album for me was "Rattlesnake". I would nominate it as one of the absolute worst songs ever written.
