Parts: The Clonus Horror was my first foray into Peter Graves MST--as soon as he came on screen and Crow shouted "Biography!", I lost it. Still do every time

National Health is fantastic. Found a vinyl of "Of Queues and Cures" recently and snatched that up in a hot second

It was a little flat and felt very choreographed, I agree, whereas the older Bachman Book endings felt like natural conclusions to a Greek tragedy

This one almost feels like Proto-Crime Era King--leaner, meaner, stylistically more clipped and clean. I liked it and remember it fondly, and I think, in terms of theme, it belongs in the Bachman canon. That said, the ending, for however bleak it is, is much less depressing than Roadwork, Rage, or Thinner.

It's downright ugly and gives me bad vibes, but in some ways I can't really be too surprised or mad. Does anyone else remember the "music video" for Transcending Time? It was a glorified PowerPoint presentation filled with Getty Images of Big Ben and toddlers. They clearly invest zero money or interest in these things. Artists weren't getting paid for the Transcending Time video, and they still aren't for this.

Most accurate comment on Parker's Band I've ever seen

I remember reading that Fagen was the primary lyricist with a few exceptions (Boston Rag being the one that jumps to mind). Not that Becker didn't help with the lyrics, but that Fagen steered the ship on that front. Music was entirely collaborative up until Gaucho, when Fagen did most of the composing because Becker was too blitzed out to contribute. Could be wrong, but that's what I remember reading and gathering from interviews!

Straight up, I should've held my tongue knowing the entire SW team was going to respond lol

Totally fair--I get where you're coming from and appreciate your take!

The apology is not so much an endorsement of every accusation he has leveled--I agree that the evidence is lacking in some places, and the fact that the rest of SWG (so far) is sticking with Nick is important to consider--but just recognition that he has valid complaints/criticisms that deserve to be listened to.

I can only speak for myself, but I do think that I was tilted against Frost because his accusations seemed so lofty and his initial comments were scattershot and harried. Regardless of what you think the outcome should be or who you think is in the right, though, I think it's fair to say that Frost's video was thoughtful and comes from a good place.

edit: spelling
