As most people on this list know, I am not the biggest fan of HOPE....but I
listen to it often in my "man cave" and I appreciate it for what it is (madman,
notwithstanding...LOL)...it is just not my cup of tea! On the other hand...I
have to agree with Dave on this and he has done his usual gentle loving way of
showing it. Except for ES....KLAATU IS KLAATU!!!!

Sorry you think so.
Having been running the website for 16 years, and the mailing list for 15, I'm
truly sick of people that suddenly have a whole new theory about how Klaatu
really aren't the ones playing on their recordings.
The discussion was approached with the band members in numerous interviews. The
results are all on the website for easy reading and research. Yet people still
have the nerve to come forward and say that because the BAND THEMSELVES view
the status of the album differently than that particular poster's PERSONAL,
SUBJECTIVE OPINION (yes, redundancy is there, for a reason!) that it obviously
couldn't have been them playing on the album. Give me a break!
If someone thinks that because the guitar parts on the Hope album are so great
that the band MUST obviously think it's the world's greatest album and should
not think 3:47 EST is better, I'd ask them to get into a discussion of the
merits of the outstanding guitar work in the song MadMan with list member Ron
Balliet. He'll tell you exactly why that song isn't great despite the fantastic
guitar work.
Let's face it. Everyone's opinion of the songs and albums is just that, an
opinion. To have the gall to outright state that the band couldn't have played
the parts because they aren't sharing the same opinion of the album as your own
is to quite simply be trolling for a fight. I called that fight for what it
is, a simply and ignorant troll attempt, and ended it.
