Great, great band. I'm going to have to disagree with Tomahawk though - I think that "Nothing's Shocking" is a far superior album to "Ritual De Lo Habitual". 'Up the Beach' still gives me chills.
As for "Strays", I think the main reason it sucked *** was the lack of Eric Avery. If you read biographies and articles about JA, most of the memebers (at least Navarro and Perkins) are quick to point out that many of their best-loved songs grew out of one of Avery's basslines.
