[kj] democracy remaster

[Alexander Smith]

DEMOCRACY is botched, pure and simple (and the band agrees). I'm not 
saying KJ2003 is flawless -- far from it -- but its better moments 
hugely outshine DEMOCRACY. Pound for pound....song for song....KJ2003 
dwarfs DEMOCRACY. Even "Aeon" (arguably the best track on DEMOCRACY) is 
hampered by muddled production and needless filigree.

DEMOCRACY betters KJ2003 in on two capacities:  cover art and the 
refreshing absence of the "lizard voice".

Todd, if you are standing within viewing distance of my pretty glass 
house, might I please suggest to you to GET OFF MY LAWN!
