And the first one, ALIEN SLEESTACKS FROM BRAZIL (which is really the only
one that has a significant involvement from the McDonalds, and even then,
this was much more Steve's interest than Jeff's). And, while we're on the
subject, there's also Steve's taking-the-piss hardcore trio Anarchy 6.

I guess it depends on how important you consider that big polished
power-pop sound that a few folks alluded to. To me, those albums sound big
and crunchy and glossy and everything, but the songs are pretty dull (when
the best song on the album is a two-decades-old cover, something's wrong),
and I'd much rather hear the noisier, muddier, more chaotic NEUROTICA,
which in my opinion has infinitely better songs.
