[kj] You guys are kind of bumming me out

[Leigh Newton]

>From what I can gather, Raven's absence may not be
permanent. If the circumstances are right, he might
even be back by the end of the year. That's the
impression he gave me the other night. He also really
likes the new album but says the demos are way better
and the end result definately became unfocused.
