whats always been most interesting to me about it was how the lives of the band members seemed to completely clash and fuse with the music in a really rare way, albeit a train wreck sorta way. So I guess Coventrys always piqued my interest in more of a sociological sorta way. It seemed like the boys were finally unable to keep the 2 sides of their lives separate and the result, while not very good sonically, was pretty telling in alot of other ways.

Yeah, this is why I come back to the Wading/Split from time to time. Trey's Wading solo is absolutely heartbreaking - the whole band is scrambling, fighting desperately for air even at the ocean floor. Amazing.
