[kj] Hollywood Babylon

I think 2012 is going to go down in KJ history as a great album. Like WTF, Revelations, and Extremities, it all fits together so well, and yetfeels complete, unlike some of their others. It also has such a full sound w/o sounding overproduced. AD has some very strong tracks, but was so disjointed and at times sounded like they werejust trying too hard. If I can ever actually get a cd of 2012 in the USA, I think I'll love it (it already sounds great on my crappy computer).
