Review: Statistically Rocking - Often Lie
Without fail, whenever I walk down the streets of my town, I will invariably be flagged down by people earnestly asking me, with a desperate gleam in their eyes, "Dave, what do you think of the new Statistics record? Why won't you tell me? For the love of me and this baby I'm carrying, won't you tell me why? Please!!!" Most of the time I just feel frightened and annoyingd by this questioning, since until recently there hadn't been a new Statistics album in over a year and a half. But things have made slightly more sense for the past few weeks, as the question is once again relevant. There is indeed a new Statistics album. And it is called Often Lie. And it rocks. And you should rock it too.
