[kj] Democracy drumming

[fluw]

*i agree about the drumming to some extent..also feel that democracy was 
the last record where kj recorded material with less consciousness for 
an audience - pandemonium and the last two sound pandering. what's worse 
is the type of overcooked meatloaf chin mullet creature they pander too 
makes them virtually unlistenable. the experience is like listening to a 
politician, a sports commentator, or watching porno - uncreative, cheap, 
cheezy and predictable.
