Not joking about #16.

Lol

[Rangi Guy]

The page on Wiki doesn't list Track 16

[Revelator]

It must be an iTunes exclusive or something.

[VinylGuy]

Anyone heard the first single?

[Kevin Davis]

The title of the opening track sounds like the title of a bad Toby Keith ballad.

[VinylGuy]

Well the song is pretty nice.

[Revelator]

It's nothing mind-blowing, but considering his last two solo release lead-off singles were 'No Such Thing' and 'Part Of Me' (respectively), I won't complain

[Revelator]

BTW, pre-orders started today--looks like tracks 13-16 are being dubbed as the 4 "bonus tracks"

[Rangi Guy]

Song in full

[tommymtcom]

Definitely a major improvement over his last solo album.

[nyquillyn]

Ugh. Those lyrics are horrific.

[epilogue]

Guys, I'm pretty into that song.

Had anyone bought the Euphoria Morning reissue? I'm trying to see if that is worth picking up.

I bought the vinyl, but haven't had a chance to listen yet. Interested to hear how the remaster sounds--I've read where a few others said they couldn't tell the difference between the old and the new. Was also disappointing that they didn't include any extras or anything w/ the reissue. He had quite a few excellent non-album cuts with Alain and Natasha back then.

[LetMeSleep]

pretty bloody average.

[bada]

His solo stuff has been so below average for so long average is an improvement.

[evenslow]

I don't like this at all, really. Way too overbaked, which is the exact opposite of what has made his recent solo tours so fantastic - stripped down, acoustic, let the voice shine.

This sounds like it was produced in Nashville. Or by 2015-era Brendan O'Brien.

[Kevin Davis]

pretty bloody average.

Yeah. Musically, it's got some cool things going on, but the lyrics and production gloss over them pretty efficiently.

[VinylGuy]

Well i liked it, but i would prefer something along the vein of Euphoria Morning. I like my Cornell as depressed as possible.
