You really need to listen to this album a few times before you start to get it. Too bad you don't have much patience or insight.

If you want to hear albums with political commentary and tasty riffs as well, Ray has already succeeded. Muswell Hillbilly, released circa 1971 offers slashing commentary of an individual depressed and frightened by his government, but hey, there's always something amusing to look at even in the darkest of times. Preservation Act One (circa 1973) takes us to a country afraid of itself and reaching out to fascism to somehow subdue everything uncomfortable and frightening ; Preservation Act Two (circa 1974) has lyrics you can cry to (try Nobody Gives)as Ray mourns about a world gone mad. But, hey, that's no reason to not have a ding-dong (Mirror of Love and Salvation Road). Ray is greatly loved by people all over the world; maybe he should write to them and not the folks who are surprised that "You Really Got Me" wasn't written by a Van Halen.

well I hope that you grow up and start to appreciate life someday. what are you 24-25 just out of college? or 50 and angry at opinions? regardless you seem to have a misguided agenda and I thank free press for allowing you to have such an opinion. now go back and listen to it again without blinders and report the truth.
