This album is my favorite this year so far by a landslide... with all the good albums out in the last few weeks it made it hard to only listen to 1.. but I can't stop listening to this

Just finishing up my 3rd listen...is it too early to name this Album of the Year?

And that YouTube video is amazing, I discovered it the other day. I love how Eddie obliterates those tambourines by the end.

Hey does "Arizona" sound a little like "Truth be Known" from Mirrorball. Awesome song BTW, so is Truth be Known!

wow i have listened to this album for 3 days straight there is no weak link no skippable songs or duds.

favs include black thumbnail, arizona, and trunk also fans and on call are fantastic songs. This is up there with their last 2 albums. So many inluences to speka of (The Police, U2, Pixies). Maybe album of the year.....

Does 'Knocked Up' remind anyone else of Bruce/U2?

And now let's throw in Ragoo, Trunk and True Love Way as my front-runners along with On Call and Arizona. These guys did so damn good.

And Knocked Up's drums make me think Larry Mullen Jr, all day long. And that's a good thing....he's such a simple and clean drummer.

agreed although I'm not a fan of U2 I love the U2 influence on this album. Trunk is so good correct.

Absolutely.

I'm still hating on 'Charmer' and 'My Party'.

But the rest is top notch.

The riff in charmer is great stuff.. those were the 2 that i caught onto last though... this is probably gonna be my favourite album this year

I love them since the beginning, and this is a great album.

Caleb's voice got even better, and it reminds me of Ed's, not the tone but the intensity.

Anyway, can't fucking wait for Nijmegen, most insane gig ever.

The Runner is my favorite song. I love this band. Hopefully they do a full US tour soon.

Knocked Up
McFearless
Black Thumbnail
True Love Way
Fans
Ragoo
The Runner
Trunk
Arizona

All pretty stunning to me. Still in heavy rotation.

I'm so glad these guys didn't fold up. They could have easily made a shitty record.

*McFearless spinning at my desk....CD spinning constantly in my car....KOL spinning madly on such a fine record!*

Good music surely can make the work day fly by.

bharQ

Yup I have a similar update.. I am constantly playing it still and finding it better and better each time...!
