| Listen to the songs, the lyrics on HIAHB... they are so politically correct... with a hint of religion here and there ... The thought that a song like Everything Louder than Everything Else was sung by the same guy who did Mad Mad World or 40 Days (insert bucket here) baffles me. HIAHB is a man's album. A man who knows his place. A man who does his share. A man who is a functional part of society... A man fighting to make the world a better place for everyone A man who has dealt with the ghosts of the past BOOH (I & II) were a boy's albums. A boy who didn't want to know his place A boy who did his share if it suited him A boy who wanted to be more than a mere cog in the wheels of society A boy fighting to make life worth living and dreams come true A boy trying to fight off the ghosts of the past NOTE: I'm talking about the songs here... not the people behind them!!! I'm just saying that Jim's songs are all passion... and that Meat's songs have become about doing the right thing... and have been rather weak, carefully worded and safe lately... There's nothing wrong with either... but the rebel boy has become a grown man... and I dread the moment when this man tries to convince himself (and everyone else) that he's still a rebellious boy... Anyone who tries to convince others of something he/she is not... overdoes it, overshoots the mark... and invariably ends up alienating those he is trying to convince... That said... of course Meat mentions Jim at every turn... Meat needs Jim a hell of a lot more than Jim needs Meat? I mean... Jim always wanted to write for the theatre... and he's doing that now... and with success... And Meat? Well, he made a few nice albums and did a couple of more or less succesfull tours... but we all know that the magic did not come from him alone... I'm not sure I can put it into words any clearer... it's just a feeling I get when I listen to HIAHB... which I do often and with pleasure... Say what you will, like what you do... I'd be the last person to tell you you HAVE to agree with me... but there you have it... my thoughts... I've said it before and I'll say it again... Meat lost his edge when he lost his anger... -K- did that make any sense at all??? > > HIAHB makes it so clear that Meat is "over" Jim... > > I mean, really?? > > Who said that?
