[kj] [kHz] (no subject) Hypothetical question

[GREG SLAWSON]

I disagree--I still think Hosannas has a sound and song selection that typifies what the Joke want to sound like. I look at
BTATS as more of a blip in their career, when they were tying to soften up and maybe even make a little cash. It's songs
are for the most part uninspited and unemeorable. At least Hosannas gets you fired up a little, despite its weaknesses (for
example, WWG sounding like Change, Lightbringer sounding like The Wait, and Majestic sounding like Communion, etc)
