I think he's shit live...what do you mean tone deaf!!!!
Ohhh.....THE shit.... >D
Yeah, Welcome To The Neighbourhood has the dubious honour of being the first Meat album I owned, plus (I know some may consider this perverse) I consider his Original Sin to be the best version I've heard. Yeah, I can take or leave tracks like Where Angels Sing and If This Is The Last Kiss, and the 'lumpy/being-struck-by-a-thick-jelly-mallet' production aesthetic, but on the whole an album of which I am strangely fond.
I'd rate this (in places) and CHSIB (more so) as pandering more to the Steinman aural-aesthetic than TMIL and THAT'S perverse...!
