While Hallowed Ground was at least criticized and taken seriously by the press (while generally being ignored by their "fans"). 3 seemed to be ignored by everyone and it's an amazing record with John Zorn like music to go along with Gordon's increasingly tortured lyrics. "Just Like My Father" "Dating Days" Mother Of A Girl and the incredibly somber "See My Ships" are great songs, even the songs that veer dangerously towards novelty have deeper messages like "Fat" and "Nightmares".

Those vf fans who knew them by Blister in the Sun and were disappointed by this album were frat boys/ sorority chicks who just went back to listening to Frankie Goes to Hollywood or the Go-Gos. I have to say that if you had the pleasure to see them in concert prior to the second album come out, it wasn't just about the catchy hooks in the first album that made them great. It was their live performances, got to be one of the best concerts I have ever seen (small bar, 200 people). And rare in America, the audience sang along, loudly, and often Gordon would back off the mic and let the audience sing the lyrics. What a sweaty, exhausting wonderful concert that was. When Hallowed ground came out, I'd be lying if I said that it took more than one spin to get into, but it quickly became one of my favorite albums, so much different from the first. I read somewhere that Brian is suing Gordon over lack of songwriting recognition and I suppose later royalties. Too bad. Cheers! Yeah great album.
