	"Over The Edge" was reportedly written in the studio, which might account for the track's "let�s get stoned and jam" feel. Like much of the Fu�s output thus far, "Edge" doesn�t stray far from the formula of thick-as-a-brick grunge-y guitars, big rawk drums, and a Scorpions-on-valium solo. Unfortunately, the group's primitive, stone-age riffs can�t disguise the banality of their lyrics -- until the Fu�s graduate from the Motley Crue school of rock prose, or open themselves up to new sounds (like their neo-psychedelic brethren Monster Magnet), it�s unlikely they�ll evolve beyond this paleolithic stage any time this millinneum.
