    Yeah, classic album. Great production for it's time, amazing lyrics and storytelling. The first time that I saw Slick live, he performed the whole album. None of his subsequent albums could match his debut (although that's also partially due to him being incarcerated).

    Shame his career got halted like it did. Would've loved to hear him with the producers who came up when he was out of action. Behind Bars is the gem of his discography though. Art of Storytelling wasn't bad neither for a comeback.

    Well... He may not be making albums anymore but he's still performing... He really performs a lot actually. I might go to see him in Long Beach next month.

    We will never get that fabled next album from him. Ever.
