IMO Rage was a good album, although the production was horrid.   As for
HITNF, my biggest problem with it was that it tried to sound grungy in order
to mimic other bands of the time, and it failed on that end.  It had some
good tracks and some bad tracks, but overall it just fell short of what QR
is capable of, probably the biggest compaint in this group.  Nothing about
it really stands out, just a mediocre album from some very talented
musicians.
