Of course everyone has a different opinion, and God bless them for it. I can cop just about any different opinion, except for "The Monster Is Loose". God, just thinking about that album and all of its songs and all of the Steinman slaughterings make me retch. I am seriously sitting here, over a cup of coffee, not being sure whether I'm able to drink it because it was the worst album I have ever heard in my entire life. Not even "The Final Cut", Roger Waters, is as bad as that. No, wait, it's worse. I can't believe I said that but, Chrrrriiiist, it's one nasty listening experience for a Floyd fan.
