Review # 2 is by Ricardo Baca huh? Reminds me of a song I heard a lot as a kid in the 1950's on the radio my older brother played while we were doing chores on the farm. It was about a hero named El Fuego Baca, or something like that.

But there's some material in Ricardo's review I've not seen before. Not too many reviewers talk about aesthetics, and back it up noting the juxtaposition of video footage of Mother Theresa with pop tunes. I didn't quite agree that "She's Not Just A Pretty Face" is an empty, jangly pop song though. Some ST songs can be tongue in cheek, or seem light weight, but there's a worthy message in most of them, if you care to look. And lots of people do.

Also, many ST fans may already know that the "wall of guitars" was reminiscent of AC/DC or The Cars from Mutt Lange's circle; or be familiar with the "three fiddlers walking a choreographed strut." But as a non-fanatic, I didn't know about either of those.
