As one of those who "bagged" Breathe I should add of course I listen to
songs from it quite often. I have a few CDs where i have mixed and matched
tracks from various albums, including Common Ground, Bring On The Change and
Time To Heal on one. That CD has some full bore stuff from RW followed by
these more introspective works from Breathe and other albums as a contrast.
I bless the day I finally got a PC at work with a Cd Rom and soundcard.
Makes work go so much better.
Its just interesting to get other peoples thoughts and sometimes it makes
you listen to some tracks in another light.

<Steve,
I am not offended by your comment at all.
As a matter of fact, I am with you! I really don't have the so called
"least favourite" album by Oils, just sometimes I tend to listen to some
more than others. And the favourites change too, it all depends on my mood.
I have never been to Australia yet, but that is one place I would love to
visit one day, hopefully soon! And Oils definitely paint that amazing land
in their music, and they do such an excellent job at it, that it makes me so
much more wanting to go there.
One thing I know, is that me and my family are so spoiled by Oil music, than
when we (especially my husband now) listen to other bands, we finally came
to the conclusion, that no-one can even come close to Oils. Like for
example, I played one of the newer Steppenwolf CDs yesterday, and my husband
listened for a while, then said...ok, they are good, but the drums need a
lot more, a lot more...then...he said....They need someone like Rob !

Firstly it sounds like I am the only fan out there that loves EVERY album
they have done and see it all as trying different things and stretching
how
far they can go as musicians and as a band. A band like Creed or
Nickelback
can't produce 2 songs that sound different let alone 15 albums. To quote
Peter Garret, you to evolve as a band or you will just go stale and die.
To those of you talking about how the band "just isn't together" on the
blue album or how they are just trying to play as fast as they can etc.
etc.
