		Ward's drumming isn't what it used to be, but he seems to know it, which may explain why he lets Eric Singer drum on a few songs.
		Bill Ward's singing isn't too bad either, though he uses a great deal of effects on his voice, either to add to the overall weirdness of the album or maybe because he wasn't too confident in his own singing ability.
		I don't mean this in a bad way, but it seems like most of the words were written by Bill Ward while he was in the psych unit of a hospital, trying to kick his drinking problems.
