Dave's Comments:

As was the case with Fall Guy on the Demon Knight soundtrack, I think the quality of the mix on this disc is just not quite as good as that on the Rollins Band's own discs. Although I imagine the mix is fine as it leaves Theo Van Rock's hands, I think the people who put these discs together fiddle with it. As well, I See Through is a pretty lacklustre song compared to the WEIGHT material. Perhaps a studio version of the Plague jam would have been better, as it would fit in with the movie's theme and plot (Henry acts in the film, portraying the character Spider. Spider is an underground doctor who is involved trying to treat and cure the information age plague N.A.S, Nerve Nerve Attentuation Syndrome, a consequence of information overload.) Maybe Disconnect would have been a good choice too?
