[kj] OTG ???

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

I have to start by disagreeing with my fat northern namesake.  The OTG lyrics are the *worst* thing about an album that has a lot of "worsts" in its collection.

That said, I would be intrigued to hear some of the material live.  I genuinely like Tiahuanaco, and America has its moments.  As Jamie says, with the current line-up...

I've always thought that OTG was lyrically rather rich.
ou hit the nail with the 'production & balls' line, but there are some great 
ongs buried under the dated production & 'chin-jutting-high-strap' basslines 
uch as Obsession & Ends of the Earth.
he opening guitar riff on Stay One Jump Ahead is IMO one of the greatest ever 
ritten. It's a real pity that it saw the light of day on THAT album.
've said before that I'd love to hear them play Obsession live (if I recall 
arc was of the same opinion?)
magine it played by the current line up with cheesy synths removed it'd be - 
or desperate want of a better expression - 'a real air puncher'

omething)/Sweet Jesus & Mohammed/Disputes between the Boys......
 
 Or maybe Jaz was just really high at the time.
