And yeah, the end of Friends is something else.

Been through it 3 times today. I agree..... brilliant.

I Digress - One of the best solos i've heard in a long time in more ways than one my friend. Good job, keep it up!!!

Thanks for posting this. Listened through the album 3 times at work today, good stuff- can't wait to get it next week

Really glad you guys are digging this! There's a lot of nuance with this record—Albatross had its share, but this is in another realm entirely. More nuance = something new bleeds through with each spin.

CBC is spinning it for another full week here:

On the gear side, a lot of Suhr stuff on this record. John can't get ENOUGH of it!

Checked most of it out at work today. Awesome album! Albatross is one of my favorite albums of the past several years and I'm really into this new stuff now.

The song Off And Running is just an instant classic. If this album doesnt get radio play in the states then really, fuck this countries taste in the garbage it's force fed.

Very cool man. Very well produced.

 

[amiller]

'Love Albatross...looking forward to Ghosts!

 

[aulo]

The reaction to the album has been almost universally positive. They've got US representation with Rounder Records, so if you want to see them live, keep bugging your favourite radio stations!

The only problem with "I Digress" is that if you play a riff that sounds anything like symphony of Destruction, well, I'm gonna feel like i am listening to Symphony of Destruction ! It's only a few notes but boy do those notes make me think Megadeth when i hear them.

These guys are good, I can't complain about anything except the big atmospheric choruses that remind me of Cold Play are not my thing. One could make the case that i am stuck in the 80's though.

That was my fav track on the album as well- "Still Here" and "War Baby" were my next favourites, as they were the ones whose melodies stuck in my head the most, although not the heaviest or ripping tracks guitar-wise on the album!

I've been listening for a few days now. What a killer album. I'm bummed that we have to wait until July for it.

It's better than Albatross and after listening all day today I think I like it as much as their first album. There's not 1 bad song on this new album, Albatross had some duds towards the end of the album I thought. I loved it up to Control but it fell flat after that. And there's more solos on Ghosts.

If you are lucky enough to own any Suhr products then i doubt not very many people would disagree that they are absolutely on top of their game in so many respectfully different ways. Obviously, not everything will appeal to everyone but the quality is always there in spades. One of my all time top gear companies for sure. I needs me an SL68

 

[James_E]

Listening now. Pretty good so far.

 

[thiswaythatway]

That song hey Mama just kills me, it's so good.
