Got this yesterday. First thoughts after one listen - it's good, with flashes of brilliance, but it's just not great. With this level of musicianship it should have blown me away. I really hope it grows on me with succesive listens. McPhearson's voice is OK on the softer, popier songs, but on the heavy parts, well, it just isn't suited.
I got the impression that they've been looking at the success of Black Country Communion and trying to get a bit of that mainstream action.
