I hope the IMPQ "all opinions are welcome" policy is still in place. Because I absolutely LOVE "Lightning Strikes Twice".

The hidden track - a cover of Dolly Parton's "9 to 5".

I've never listened to that album and you're not going to make me do it.

You’re right. I’m not. I like you. I wouldn’t do that to someone I like.

I've heard Futureal on the radio and The Clansman live and I had to listen to Como Estais Amigos after your episode on this album and it made me sad.

Those are thought of as the best songs. They aren’t. None of them are.

I struggle with a lot of Janick's Maiden stuff. He wrote better Maiden riffs before he was in Maiden. When he joined Gillan he was the only guitarist on the album but played twin lead harmonies. What's The Matter was written a few months after NOTB came out. I think he must have been a fan.

In all seriousness I can't bear the disappointment. I don't want to know what The Angel And The Gambler sounds like.

No matter what you imagine that song to be like, it’s definitely worse. It’s fucking horrible. Beepbeep beep beep.

My biggest heresy maybe that I don't think this album is all that bad. Apart from Angel and the Gambler obviously, that's awful, I'm not mad. And Don't Look etc is an overlong bit of nothing. Apart from that, fine. Even quite good in parts. Is the Clansman dodgy lyrically? If not probably that one.

I'm watching The Chemical Wedding. A promising start and then it all goes a bit Lord Iffy LaVey.

Callow is as brilliant as ever though even with a script that plummets into silliness at times.
