But I didn't like the songs as much as <I>Eat 'Em and Smile</I>, and I thought the way they nearly mixed Sheehan's bass off the record was criminal.<BR/><BR/>I really liked Blue Murder's debut, but the second offering was not in the same league. You might remember only the single from it, "Itchicoo Park" (or something like that ... I haven't picked up the CD more than once or twice since buying it years ago).<BR/><BR/>-- davidDavid Amulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758977878243268087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-1144670455513972182006-04-10T05:00:00.000-07:002006-04-10T05:00:00.000-07:00Fred- A while back I wrote a thing about metal fas...Fred- A while back I wrote a thing about metal fashion mistakes and Raven's jockstraps over their pants was certainly included. <BR/><BR/>David- I didn't realize Blue Murder did a second album.
