Read what the critics are saying about it!
------------------------------------------
"Anyone who has not ordered the second bootleg collection, do so now! I got
mine today and was able to watch it after convincing Left it was just another
college promotional video. (Boy, he's getting soft lately.)
Interviewer: So you think that America is experiencing a trend of
de-intellectualization?
Linnell: Well, we *could* just say that Americans are stupid, but that would
be mean."   (Christy--Christi587@aol.com)

"It's way cool; it  has tons  of tv  appearances and  the like  (their MTV
hostings, late-night  show appearances, the  Flood and A18  promo videos, and
suchlike.) The appearances go back to the late '80's, including an '88 one of
an  extremely geeky-looking Flans  performing Lie Still,  Little Bottle (with
The   Stick!)"   (Nicole the Wonder Nerd  )


"It was worth it for the Flood and Apollo 18 UK promos alone!"
(Mr. 88)
