I'm glad i got to listen to this band before i'd heard a single word about them. my boyfriend of the time picked up "This is a long drive..." late 1999 and we both fell in love with it. i have a very special place in my heart for that band's album . i saw them live not soon after, and it was okay .
ive since heard a couple of their cds and can appreciate their consistent style but overall they're not a favorite, no .
i really hate when anything in the world gets a lot of hype - it really affects how i pick up on the group in the first place . i get into things way better through accident, where first hearing a band is as near a cherry-popping experience as possible . ive gotten into a lot of bands though that were hugely popular for a time but i subconsciously wait until the hype has died down and somehow 'accidentally' run into something and end up then hating it or loving it .
i dont know .
