[R. B. Norton]

WHAT?!

Poets a let down?  Poets and Slaves lovers unite!  This is the latest of the
Oils' Great Epic Songs.  Jimmy Sharman's Boxers, Once Country and Poets and
Slaves.  If you want to talk last song let downs...how about Drop in the
Ocean?

Funny, I feel the exact same way.  I will have to try your new track order
and see if it works for me.  I too feel "Poets" is a bit of a let down to
close out the album, and the first 5 songs are all so strong they kind of
get a big head of steam up that dies down a little in the 2nd half.
