if u r here to say something about other MD's albums alone, then this is not the right place. u seem to be new to the group. let me see what u write when an ARR album releases. m saying this to u because there r few in this group who mail/reply only when there is a non-arr topic or speaking about other MD's.. so, let me not jump upon u now as i think u havent been here when an ARR album is released. let me see what ur take for JA is...
