    Agreed, and if a bazillion people say they sound like Zeppelin...they probably sound a bit like Zeppelin ;)

    Put me in the "I don't get it" crowd.  They're at acl tomorrow though so I'll walk by and give it a listen live.

    I really like the From the Fires double EP.  While they sound like Zeppelin I think they're pretty good at composing original works.   I've listened that EP alot.  Hoping the new album is just as good.   Lot's of bands have had strong Zeppelin influences.. most of them don't sound this good.

    I did catch them live back in July.  It was decent.  They did struggle in the middle.  The double EP has 8 songs.. most people knew those and rocked out.   But they put covers/unreleased in the middle, and no one knew those songs, so much much weaker crowd reaction.   It'll be interesting after the new album comes out and they've got enough known songs to fill out a 90 minute setlist.

    I've heard the entire new GVF album. It's good, but no better than say Wolfmother or The Sword debut. There will be be a few live gems off this LP, but hands down From The Fires double EP is way better. Hope these guys innovate a bit more and stretch out on album #2. They may fade after this LP, since it's not mindblowing or necessary listening by any means. But I love these guys and wish em the best!

    Listened to the new album.   I like it, not as much as I like the EP's, but it's decent.  Will listen to it more to see if it grows on me more.   Not too many albums hit me over the head on the first listen (although from the fires did).

    I'm liking the new album. Sounds like they're refining their own sound. Not quite as much obvious LZ influence.

    Wowza.

    At a minimum, there's a hint of truth in the review. I like the band, but it seems as if they are more 'in character' than they need to be.

    I like The Darkness (unfavourable) comparison. The Darkness is one of my guilty pleasures- loud and fun music that has not grown old for me.

    agreed....I saw them live last year and was impressed, but they won't get far by just sounding like LZ.  They will sell out a tour and then fade away.
