    Today, in a world rooted in an entirely different stratum of rock, they're as lively as the corpses that archaeologists hook out of peat bogs: perfectly preserved, but not great for dancing or conversation.

    Another great STP album. I think they are the closest thing to a modern day Led Zeppelin. They can play the hard and fast stuff, but also Another great STP album.
