Strange.  I don't have any parents around to distress with it, and yet I
still want to turn it up.  It just sounds better.  I can't explain it, but
at normal levels it sounds puny.  I now feel guilty for not pestering my
parents more when I was growing up.

No no no.....  THAT album.

Just kidding.  This is our music.

I don't have the urge to buy any more of their albums.  i know how everyone
goes on about how great a band they are, and I like listening to that album
every once in a while, its just not something I personally get into.
