*** Al spends most of his autobiography claiming to have always hated Paul, but his wife disagrees saying that, "Al trusted that man. And Al loved Paul, y’know? When Al loves someone, he really loves them. So when Al says he hates Paul, he hates Paul now. But he didn’t hate him back then. They were bandmates and Al loved him" and that "Paul stuck a knife in Al's heart." Oooh, boy.

** Al's older synthpop material has been getting more and more fans as of late (including the stuff before ''With Sympathy''), much to Al's annoyance. Specially when said fans seem to have an extreme hatred for his later IndustrialMetal shift.

* BrokenBase: Did they start to suck post-''Psalm 69''? Was it the Bush-era albums that did them in? Or have the changes been for the better? Considering that the band has changed so much over their history, you'll expect to see this trope in spades within their fanbase.
