You've still got to like DFBB.

Amen to this recording.
I saw the band the week of its release out in Riverside. They played after Servant and tore it up.
THe cover is my favorite.
Man humbled and in need of God's power, love and mercy.

It's relative, of course. My least favorite DA album eclipses most other albums ever released.

Fearful Symmetry & Doppelganger were my top two until Mr. Buechner's Dream landed under the Christmas tree. (I never warmed up to Darn Floor Big Bite. I'm not sure why.) DA released FS when I was in a difficult place in my life, & the sheer beauty & hopefulness of its message carried me over a number of really rough times.
I would love to hear how the class reacts to 'Neverland Ballroom.' I'm sure it would be unlike any other example.

Wow, we have a lot in common. My top three DA picks are MBD, FS, and DG!!
As for reactions from the class to the lyrics, they might not be that strong. We're reading stuff from East Asia, Nat. Amer. Indians, Egypt, and all over. We're reading some weird stuff and weird interpretations.

My own favorites. I like DFBB a lot now - but didn't like it at all when it first came out. Weird.
