I 37 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: think it's an album that has stood the test of. 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,639 Speaker 5: Time without question, and it's one of those that. 39 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: I don't want to say it was. I don't want 40 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: to minimize this. I want to be careful, but it 41 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 2: was their last great album in my opinion. They've had 42 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: some very good albums, but that album, to me just 43 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: my opinion, and I'm sure i'm wrong. I mean, they've 44 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: had some very good albums, but to me, that one 45 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: when you think about the track list, think about what 46 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 2: you just said, Some girls, Beast a Burden, Miss You, Shan. 47 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 3: The whip, when the whip comes down, and the whip. 48 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: We want to Keith's few songs that he sang right 49 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: when the Whip Comes Down respectable, Yeah, before they make 50 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 2: Me run far away, as they haven't had an album. 51 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking about it as you said it, and 52 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of of later years, you know, releases, 53 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: to see what I might challenge your point on it with, 54 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: because you know, I like doing that it when possible. 55 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: But I can't really disagree with you.
