    It took me a long time to find out about their 4th and 5th albums. By the time I learned they’d been released, they weren’t available in the US. My girlfriend ordered them from a brand new little web store front in Iceland, of all places. That was before the age of streaming, obviously.

    Looking at wikipedia, I see they got back together in 2011 and made a couple more albums. I may have to track those down.

      I happened to run across a CD of the fourth one used, a couple of years after it released. I didn’t even know it existed before that, and definitely didn’t know it’d end up becoming my favorite. And I still don’t have a copy of the fifth. I do have the last two though.

      25 On is sort of reminiscent of Tornado or The Good News and the Bad News - a return to form. It’s pretty good on its own, but sort of suffers by comparison. Monster Movie is odd but interesting. It feels kind of self-indulgent, but in a good way - just a bunch of guys sitting around playing what they want to play just because that’s what they want to play. It’s a bit disjointed, but I like it.

        I just now bought 25 On and Monster Movie. Haven’t listened yet because I’m stuck on zoom for another 90 minutes!
