    It gets better and better if you ask me. I think even though we were told to expect something different the first listen was a little more jarring than subsequent ones. This album has a lot of layers and really good song writing.

    Also, there will be another show in NJ next week. Announced Friday. Don't know where or when but not the Pony as far as I know

    Mikee, maybe the wellmont theater in Montclair?

    I think smaller. Much smaller .

    Each time I play this I like it more. Right now I'm loving Selected Poems and Ain't That a Shame

    If I had a guess, I would say the NJ show will be in Vintage Vinyl. I think they posted that 2008 record release party video as a teaser/hint. That's purely speculation/my opinion tho.

    Listened to the album 4 times through last night. First listen was definitely different, but I agree that it's a solid record and one that I will love.

    My biggest criticism of this album so far is how slow it is. There really isn't a fast rocker. Most of the songs are slow/mid tempo.

    I really didnt like my first listen. A few songs id give 3/5 but the album really bored me.

    I didnt want another 59 Sound, just something interesting. Wasnt big on Handwritten either. I used to play these guys everyday. To me they just sound boring and uninspired now.

    Thanks mike, awesome read
  • Abingdon MD Posts: 9,100
    Yeah there are a few that are a decent tempo, but overall I still feel its a little slow.

    Beside the 3 singles that were pre-released, I think I like Helter Skeleton and Underneath the Ground the best so far.

    Nice article!

    Very cool, wish I went but I'll see most of these in September, hopefully.
    How many people were there? What kind of banter/stories did Brian tell between songs?
