When I did my review, it was agreed that I should edit it. I did so, and it was cut down by two-thirds. I know a few of you like the way I get long-winded with certain topics, and while I didn't think of it that way when I did the review, my original review of undun came off like one of my old Lesson posts. In other words, if you don't like me going "blah blah blah Prince, blah blah blah Pink Floyd", you can read the final version of my review.

Otherwise, this is my original review, written on the week I received the advance for the album. This version is 4500 words, or the equivalent of the average short story. While it's a "private link", that merely means you will not see it if you go to ThisIsBooksMusic.com, but the review should be available for all to see.

If anything, it's the struggle all creative people (artists, journalists, painters, etc.) have to deal with, and using the power of editing. Sometimes, an edit makes something good or okay a lot better, but this will give all of you a chance to look into what I initially thought of the music.
