Well, I'm not going to compare anyone's harmonies to anyone else's,
perhaps ever if I'm lucky, but on the other hand I *like* Damnations TX,
which means that as far as I'm concerned they're much, much better than
the unlistenable Freakwater.
But yeah, that reviewer would probably be an interesting person to talk
to. Once. <g>
