Not too long ago, I was making a mix disc, and I
pulled out Tsar's debut. And while I didn't think it
was the best album the year it was released, I
definitely thought it was terrific.  As I started
going through the tracks though, I didn't think the
album had held up very well.  A lot of sizzle, not as
much steak as I remembered.
