    Me thinks that was limited...not certain about that though. I'll probably just pick it up at best buy later in the week
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    I waited too long to get an autograpged copy. found out about it here, and they were all gone. :( I hope newbury comics has some extras later on. still looking forward to hearing the album though.

    I wish PJ would do signed copies as pre sale.

    I'll see if I can get you one. I know people! :)
    really? thanks! :P

    So I work for Apple and just did a pretty good sized order of iPads for Ben and Co. His assistant is the sister of the drummer, Jordan Richardson. I had no idea R7 was on this album! Let's see if I can get some tickets! :)

    supposed to be a Ben solo album - but it sounds a lot like R7 is on the majority of the songs...which is perfectly fine with me

    Edit: According to this article from Ben's official page, it's a R7 album:

    I was really down on this release despite being a fan since 1996. I think I just went through massive Ben Harper fatigue. I wasn't crazy about Lifeline, and I love R7, but kinda played the first album to death.

    But I am loving this album thus far. I thought I would hate it after Rock N Roll Is Free, but there's a great collection of songs on this. Sounds like halfway between what the first R7 album sounded like and what he had been doing with the Innocent Criminals since 2003 or so. Though I will definitely say I am loving the looser feel to the rock songs, extending them out a little. A lot of credit to Ben on this one. Excellent new album.

    thanks. strange part is ... it doesn't list R7 on the album cover at all. All the ben press releases via his facebook & twitter have only said just ben harper too. maybe some of the R7 members changed?

    That is an old article. I guess it was either reported incorrectly as a R7 album or it originally started out that way but became a solo album.

    pretty sure it is a picture of them on the inside cover though. he just bills his albums differently. not sure what exactly decides how he does it

    Finally got around to listening to it. Not as good as White Lies For Dark Times, but a solid release. Favorite song is "Don't Give Up On Me Now". I'll most likely wait for the vinyl. I'm still holding out for a potential signed vinyl.
