Good things come in threes, some say.  Bad things come in threes, I also hear.  Hence we can conclude that anything that comes on its own is neither good nor bad, and is merely average.  So when football fans chant “there is only one Ali Karimi”, as I’m sure they do, they aren’t being especially complimentary to the free-scoring Iranian midfielder, and some would argue they probably should be taken outside and shot for their insolence.  If they haven’t been already.  Thankfully, this new release from Steven R Smith under his Ulaan Khol guise (sounds more like a Mongolian dictator to me) is the first part of a trilogy, which means it is possible to form an opinion on it.  It must be either good or bad.  QED.
