Me too, my man!

I forget--did you end up getting tickets to the Ogden show when they were touring behind the re-issue of their debut? I remember that show sold out super fast and you missed out.

I got tickets to that one.

Strat and I will be at the Red Rocks show...they're going to kick all kinds of ass in that, possibly the coolest venue in the country.

"The Vampyre ..." is fucking good....Josh vocals are haunting.

Nice, I landed my tickets today too and I can't wait. Been ages since I took in a show at Red Rocks--definitely an awesome place to see a show!

Now...I suppose I should carve out a little time tonight to have my first proper listen to the new record.

Kyep - 4.5
Ocean - 4.5
Vampyre - 4.5
Tail - 4.5
MGITS - 4
Kalopsia - 5
Fairweather - 3.5
Smooth Sailing - 5
IAM - 6
Like Clockwork - 5

This is just ridiculously good. Only one I'm not totally sold on at the moment is Fairweather Friends, but it's growing on me.

FF is at least a 4, if not a 4.5.

missed out on Wiltern tickets. must have sold out pretty quick. At 75 a pop i'm not too upset about it though

Guys, this is a 5 stars album.

I'm holding out until its released, but I'm glad you guys are loving it. How's the quality of the rip you're listening to?

You can easily make a case for this being their best album. I almost wish it was longer but it just makes me start the album right over. I have to be on my 20th listen by now and still can't get enough.

The one I got is good, can't say if its great or not...

I don't know where to classify this one... but it probrably get n.1 or n.2 at least.

Wow, this is fucking sexy.

i dont think its their best yet...it might become their best though.

At ten tunes long this one is just the right tightness.
