    Dudes I can't wait to listen to the entire "wakin" album, but can't get past the first track, it's so damn good! I think I've started off every single work day this week with this track, love it.

    I've been a huge Vile fan since his last album, I listened to that a ton. But so far, and I'm still getting into it, this album is good, VERY good. Third time through I listened on headphones. And had some green. The rest is history...lol.

    But this is good stuff.

    For Kurt Vile in general? Or on this album. First song flows right into second song...incidentally, "KV Crimes" is my second favorite song on the album.

    For Kurt Vile, go to "Smoke Ring For My Halo" and then "Childish Prodigy" in terms of albums.

    Saw him at Coachella, while waiting for Dinosaur Jr. Him and the band were good!

    "Was All Talk" and "Too Hard" are my favorites of the moment off the new album.

    Doing some travelling this summer and luckily gonna catch Kurt in Dresden in June. I have never seen him before. Only concert I am looking forward to more this summer is the obvious one...Wrigley.

    He's really, really good live. Doesn't do or say much, other than play. When I saw him, I came away (1) impressed with his "live" voice, and (2) impressed with the Violators. In the words of Fabrice Fabrice on the Kroll Show, "that's a good band."

    "Was All Talk" is a song I didn't like too much off the bat, now it's my favorite song on the album. "Snowlflakes are Dancing" is coming up fast.

    This is just a great album...Kurt is a good man. He's making the name proud.

    I really like Shame Chamber....those "Wo's!" are great. Infact I really like the whole album, one of the best of the year for me so far...
