      I agree with you, kind of, but I personally couldn't say the same for all of the songs, some of which definitely seemed experimental.

And though i knew nothing of their actual scene, being in ohio, the temple of the dog album was a touchstone for me. Hundreds of hours tapping away to his rhythms. I say at my own kit; a pieces together Ludwig and Dixon hodge podge with an even broader cymbal selection....I say there with sticks on a third hand throne, closed my eyes and played the whole record through i one go. Matt was and the drummer pat excellance for this drmmer's lifetime.
