    Old Skin. That one got me pretty good. What a gorgeous record. Have to order the LP.

    It’s very cohesive. Familiar, yet new territory for them.

    Do Adam's vocals have an effect on Harmonia's Dream as well? They sound very thin compared to the other tracks but can't tell if this is my Amazon Music or the song.

     First, you wouldn't listen to the singles.  Now, you won't unless its on vinyl!  Where does it end with you!? LOL.  "But you're suffering!"

    Spotify + good headphones = bliss.

    LOL.

    I caved. Just started the album.....headphones aren't the greatest, but not the worst.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Old Skin.  Aside from the gross imagery conjured, what a rock song. Wow.

    Great album. Much more focused, accessible and easier to digest - more melodic and even a little heavier than their past albums. 
    You nailed it. Agree with all this.

    First they came for my 8-tracks. Then my records. Then my tapes. Then my CD's. Then the records came back. Then they came for my streaming. What am I talking about anyway???

    Gets better with each listen as all good records do. I worry if a new record hits the spot straight away. Means I get bored with it quickly.

    I feel like Harmonia's Dream could be another single. Little long though.

    Favourite track after a few repeated listens is I Don’t Live Here Anymore. Love those vocals and backing in the chorus. Just sublime! Who else is singing??

    “Feel the storm coming on
    Feel the darkness at your gate
    Live the loneliest of life
    Keep on moving at your pace
    Ain't the sky just shades of gray
    Until you seen it from the other side?
    Oh, if loving you is the same
    It's only some occasional rain”
