| Desmond's writing on Bat III really *is* unmemorable, particularly the lyrics. So unoriginal and uninspiring its ridiculous. As one of the few who supported the decision to use Desmond as a Stein-alternate, if indeed an alternate had to be used at all, I stand by my position that, based on his previous body of work, Desmond was one of only a few "name" producers that seemed like he could do the project some justice. Unfortunately, sometimes sound decisions yield poor or sub-par results, and only hindsight is 20/20. Like, Tom Brady throwing an easy pass to Reche Caldwell on the sidelines seems like a good move at the time, based on Reche's recent track record. You can only make decisions based on the info you have, unless you have yourself a Stone of Orthanc or something. Anyway, I really wanted to like Bat III, and I still do, in its own decent way, when I bother to play it. But as Smeg astutely pointed out a while back, there's just *nothing* about it that compels repeated listening. And now hindsight really makes me wish they had approached Paul O'Neil for the job, instead. > > > I said this the other day.
