Throwing out another possibility: considering he had such an influence 
on this album, I wonder if Geordie meant he doesn't like the new album 
*played live*? 'Cause the live renditions I heard sure sounded shit, 
especially compared to the studio-recorded versions. Normally, I find 
Joke material *improves* when played live, but that ain't so with what 
they had been playing (Majestic, Hosannas, Gratitutde). Though 
admittedly Geordie certainly puts up with playing selections that he 
doesn't like (such as "Change," according to Jaz).

Ah well, any such speculation relies on trusting what these two have 
said at any given moment, which I've found always leads me back to 
square one anyway. Ah fuck it.
