Given that this is getting very positive reviews everywhere, I'll have to pick it up later today.  I was gonna get it eventually anyway, but it wasn't a priority like, "OMG, I gotta get it the day it comes out!"  If this is as good as their last one, I'll be thrilled. :)

With the big deal they're making about the analog recording process, it almost feels like I'm doing it wrong, ripping the CD to my laptop so I can listen to it on my MP3 player.  :lol

Already have to give it a rest.  I've been listening to it a lot. 

Thank God there's still at least one current band putting out good new rock music.

I listened to the new albums a week ago or so. It was good.

Dear Rosemary and Walk were the best tracks, easily.

The whole album Rumbo is soooo damn catchy.  I love it. 


Though the levels on this cd is so damn high it's distorted so I've got to play with the EQ in my car.  Music these days are made for ear buds and computers.

Except that they made a big deal about having an entirely analog recording process, and making sure they liked how it sounded on vinyl.

I saw the doc.  I doesn't mean that the levels can't be through the roof.

The levels really aren't THAT bad. I play it on my stereo and it sounds amazing. I'm picking up the vinyl for comparison when someone in my damn city stocks it...

I'm going to play the cd in my car tomorrow and see.  I did have a new stereo put in and this is the only download on my I-Pod that sounds distorted.  It sounds great on my computer.  Either way it's a killer album.

The new CD is spectacular, glad to see there's still a fairly mainstream hard rock band that can make something so good.

Yeah I definitely think Rope is a good single.  Bridge Burning might be my early favorite track, not sure.

I've never gone crazy over their debut, even though many fans rave over it.  I probably need to revisit and dedicate some time to it.  I just have so much different stuff I am listening to right now, it is hard to give too much time to any one band, much less one record. 

The new one is still damn good, though.  Especially to work out to. :metal
