- I have to somewhat agree - if not the best, it's pretty damn close. On the
- first listen, "Hoover Dam" blew me away. It's been a long time since I've heard
- such a cool-sounding use for keyboards. I'd have to say that song and "Man On
- The Moon" are my favorites, with "Helpless," "A Good Idea," and "The Act We Act"
- all tieing for runners-up. An excellent album...

- Hmmm...I'm not sure. I've heard one Husker Du song, and it sounded similar
- in approach (don't know the name, a friend just put it on for me once).
- According to the interviews I've read, Bob Mould is into the "wall of noise"
- idea of making music, and I'm told Husker Du was very much that.
-
- Oh yeah, and just in case you hadn't heard, there's a new Sugar album,
- _Beaster_ (I *think* that's it) coming out in a month or two, and I'm
- told there'll be another following pretty quickly after. Take that last
- one with a grain of salt, tho'...
