  Did someone say Vanden Plas ? J/k


  I want QR to be great again, but I just don't know if it will happen. I 
really think it boils down to two things:

 One is that I feel the QR creative well has pretty much ran dry.

 Two is that the emotion and/or intensity has also dried up. 

  That combination can be lethal for a band, but thatr is what sounds like 
has happened to QR.
