I happen to like Strange Brotherhood an awful lot.
Killing, No Pain, Lullaby, Headlights, Queen of My Heart, and of course the standards. Loads of "lost tracks" from this time, too. How Brother didn't make it on the album is beyond me.
I suppose my only critique is that some of the songs do seem to carry on a bit, both intro and outro. 5 songs on the album over 5 minutes, two more very close. Killing could have been about 2 minutes shorter, would have been a great single, I think.
And Gigabyte Wars I think has some great lyrics, clever turns of phrase. The brass doesn't bother me at all, I kind of like it. Strange that people don't seem to slag Knife for having brass in it...
