Force- it's equal to Mass times Acceleration, yo

Kenneally is problematic; he's a uniquely talented songwriter and performer but his music sometimes suffers from a bloated feeling, which afflicts a lot of the music I love.  The songwriter is so skilled that some of the tunes sound soapy and too busy, like Burt Bacharach.  It's as if the songwriter is pretending not to play jazz.  FZ, Beefheart, NRBQ don't suffer from this because they never lose that sense of full-throated commitment (the Roar I alluded to).
