I KNOW! when i first heard "Romeo's Distress" i didn't want to believe that it was actually Christian Death...how could Christian Death have done something this good!? but i got over it...where would we be if we judged every band that started off good and went to crap on the basis of their later stuff? (i've had many such shocks over the years: Public Image, Ltd., Tangerine Dream, The Human League...and PiL is one of my absolute favorites now...) but Only Theatre of Pain is so fucking great...it's a shame less ppl will know about it 'cuz of the "dark shadow" that lurks over the name Christian Death...i like Catastrophe Ballet...but i wouldn't quite put it up there as being almost as good...it definately has its moments, but there is an element of cheese lurking beneath ready to spring up...as it did w/ their later albums...
