check out the song 'A Song for our Grandfathers' off the new album, that's by far the best song on the record for me.

The early Eddie Vedder comparisons are fitting I think. Both extremely theatrical, overwrought, and ridiculous. This guy is probably in on the joke, unlike Ed, but he's also totally invested and sells it.

I saw them last night and they were OK. Maybe I wasn't as wired into the show as the rest of the audience but the rapturous applause seemed a bit out of kilter with the actual performance.
