Now, if the lyrics weren't enough to push the ‘stop/eject’ but- ton, then most definitely the singing would. Call me crazy, but] though it was kind of a given that lead singers were supposed to be able to keep pitch. But in this case Lips’ voice has this tendency tocrack here and there.

Becausein my opin- ion that seems to be the entire prob- lem: Lips. He can’t sing, there seems to be a few too many guitar solos (a sure sign of huge ego) and his beau- tiful name appears at the beginning of every song credit. Thus, he seems to be the major force behind this shitty band. So taking some laws of physics into account here, I would toss this no talent asshole and try to start again. orheelbunt Worth the Weight is exactly that. Worth the wait! Not because it is a great album, but be- cause you could wait until the sands of time disappear and still not find a shittier album. My thanks go out to A&M records and the group Anvil (Espe- cially you Lips) for wasting my time, effort and ink on a waste of space in the music world.
