   Actually I've heard the demos pulled from the 80's and GIOMH is much   
   better than they are.  It has real drums for one thing.  And Brian is   
   singing much better now than he was then.

   I agree, Brian shouldn't sing all the parts himself.  Not that he does   
   a bad job of it, but harmonies sound better when there is a blend of   
   different voices, not a blend of the same voice over and over again.
