"Grow some balls Sowing. Then again, I guess you're just getting used to having them handed to you. ;-)"

Hey I still have a little less than 2 months of ball-having. Besides, when she strips me of any dignity that means I'm still able to listen to Taylor Swift, right?

Oh yeah, Swifty is well & truly fair game still. In fact, we'll all understand your infatuation then. It's just all of these single years which will remain a mystery.

Hmmm wonder if I'll dig this more than Enemy of the World



I didn't hate their last full length for the record, everything this band does sits pretty well with me

I'm with you Gameofmetal re: "everything this band does sits pretty well with me". My concern was that they were going to be the ultimate 3.5 rating band that would be unable to step up to the next level, no matter what style of music they played. This is where I think this LP outdoes 'EotW'.

This is pretty good. Sort of feels like it's missing something that EOTW had though.

"remember "fairweather fan"? Yep, I liked that song. 3rd best track off the LP imo.



"Some of these songs are really weak". Initially, I thought that too, but most of them grew on me.



"blast"... "fun"... "driving music". Check, check & check.



Good luck with the beard Sanders. When should we check back in with you? 3 months or 3 years!?



Thanks Egg. Hope you like it.



Spec, if it's missing anything in comparison to EOTW, it can only be more outrageousness or synths. I personally don't think that's a bad thing.

Some of the soaring melodies feel absent. Like this ones more difficult to sing along to.

You're doing it wrong... You need to SHOUT along. :-)



Seriously, I think I know what you mean. I think the hooky melodies of EOTW are more the poppy kind. Here, they're more the rocky kind.
