And indeed, it's proven to be an obviously good idea. Yet 98% of the investing world doesn't follow it. That's been good for us.

Each album has a different atmosphere. The third album and Houses of the Holy seem to be the two albums that people didn't get off on quite as strongly as the other ones.

This is the ultimate weakness of violence: It multiplies evil and violence in the universe. It doesn’t solve any problems.
