| Yeah I know I know... it happens. To be COMPLETELY honest I don't give a shit anymore that it was called bat 3. That's just nomenclature, man. If Jim and Meat made an album tomorrow and it was called What art of My Body with fantasy art all over the cover then we'd gobble it up and ask for more and the title wouldn't matter. I'm over any concerns I once had about the semantics of it. What annoys me about it is that it was CLEARLY a rush job. Vocals below par (despite Meat being comparatively in good voice), songwriters whoever happened to be on the first page of Desmond's teledex, guest appearances devised purely for the marketing of the name... And for what!? He's recording another album now anyway!?
