I've been a fan since '77 - and in my eyes (ears?) they do little wrong MOST of the time (passing fads aside). They are easily the best band America has produced besides Nirvana & Green Day - both knowingly acknowledge CT as one of their inspirations. "Everybody Knows" & "Sick Man of Europe" here are genius, classic - put them in the pantheon of classic CT greats. I only wish there were more goofy and or killer Rick solos here to enjoy. "Sick Man" represents the CT I grew up on and love in Bootlegs I STILL listen to this day - Where's the Solo in "California Girl"? I'm being a nagger here - but there was a chance to make the mirror image book end of "California Man" - add a great guitar solo, end the solo with a 12 string bass 'quote' from another song (as "California Man" had borrowed from "Brontosaurus") I sort of felt like "oh, ok that was - nice". But please feel free to kick my a$$ (like Sick Man of Europe does). But all in all - can't fault the boys for another fine album, more great songs to add to the bulging catalog of awesomeness and proving me right for the 30-something'th year. When the other kids mocked me for loving 'You're All Talk' and 'Daddy Should've Stayed in High School', well before Budokan . . . . me and a lot of my friends GOT IT (and got it good) a LONG time ago - still wondering when (or IF) America is going to figure out this treasure and institution. While I still don’t think they have reached the heights of 1997’s “Cheap Trick” – they keep on getting close to “GREAT” albums.

- Where’s the Solo in “California Girl”? I’m being a nagger here – but there was a chance to make the mirror image book end of “California Man” – add a great guitar solo, end the solo with a 12 string bass ‘quote’ from another song (as “California Man” had borrowed from “Brontosaurus”) I sort of felt like “oh, ok that was – nice”. But please feel free to kick my a$$ (like Sick Man of Europe does).

But all in all – can’t fault the boys for another fine album, more great songs to add to the bulging catalog of awesomeness and proving me right for the 30-something’th year. When the other kids mocked me for loving ‘You’re All Talk’ and ‘Daddy Should’ve Stayed in High School’, well before Budokan . . . . me and a lot of my friends GOT IT (and got it good) a LONG time ago – still wondering when (or IF) America is going to figure out this treasure and institution.
