For me, Welcome To The Neighbourhood is a much better album then Bat 3. Although there are similarities between Jim's work and the matariel on Neighbourhood, it's more in the delivery of the songs, rarther then the songs themselves (excluding the piece of crapness that is I'd lie for you) Monster tries so hard to imitate Jim's styles in both the songs and the style and it falls so short. As a Bat album or a Meat album, it's just a bad album with shit songs (Not any of the Jim ones I must stress) > Chika asked: > > > Do you have a big collection of mr Steinmans music? > > I have a fairly big collection but my collection is not > nearly as complete as Ryan's collection.
