'Course, Butch always did have a thing for Jonathan (remember the cover
of Roadrunner)...yeah, both of them have failed to fully live up to
their potential lately, but I think this album has its strong points.

Mr. Rivers may be sort of a one trick pony, but he was responsible for the
masterpiece "A Scandal In Bohemia"...BPSP is a bit of a disappointment
after Fishcotheque, but then that was so welcome partly because it followed
the wretched Distressed Gentlefolk. I think "Bicycle Kid" and "Line of
Death" may qualify as gems, but only continued listening will tell.
