Sure. I loved both "II And III" and especially "Third Album", a crazy multi-faceted patchwork of all-over-the-place influences from balkan folk to psychedelia, tex-mex, country and hardcore. Wasn't so keen on "Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart" - except for the cover of "Oh Death" - as it sounded a bit flat and over-produced, but "Key Lime Pie" had more than enough great moments tro make it worth buying. Will be going to see them when they play the RFH on Sunday.

Incidentally, have you heard Kaleidoscope? I reckon their "Infinite Patterns, Infinite Colours" compilation is pretty much exactly what the Campers would have sounded like if they'd started 20 years earlier. They covered "Oh Death" too.
