This was a discussion?

Actually, I'd back Chris up on this one.  I don't know about lustiness or
heat, but GDBD just seems somehow... flatter to me than the other albums.
Each has its own character, different from the others, and I just get along
easier with the other five (I even like Besides better).

I'd have to say it's more like GDBD is a Barq's in a can, and
the other albums are IBC floats (Eve is an IBC float with a cherry and
whipped cream).  All lustiness aside.

For what that's worth,
