Thank you I was starting to feel like I was crazy because the consensus is still
so negative when it comes to Monuments and still overly positive in regard to Oceania. I've never understood why...
I actually forgot about Dorian (the tracks that worked their way into my realm were Tiberius, One and all, Anaise and Anti-Hero)... But when you consider the album, it's actually quite a far reaching and eclectic collection (the opposite is true with Ogilala). Sure, it's short and polished... But BC said himself that he was just coming with the haymakers... Felt no need for any filler (which Oceania has a ton of)... And plus, it was a treat to here Tommy Lee on the album after the numerous years with Byrne.
