I live in Michigan. Can't really cut us slack when Snyder is fucking us over worse than Granholm did.

Seriously, I thought it was bad before...

I have no idea what you are talking about, so it must be political stuff.

I checked out "Ups And Downsizing" and can not really understand now why I did not like it. Checked this one out after reading your review, and I really like it. Time to check that backcatalogue again. ;-)

Great review, as always

Best I ever had is a awesome song, really liked this after the first listen, after a few more I easily expect this to jump to a 4. I also like the new direction they are heading, but really respect that they are sticking to their sound.

Yeah, I think they have found a balance of moving in a new direction, but not losing their base sound. The main component I do miss a little though is the more extravagant guitar-work.

FINALLY starting to grow on me. Might have to bump it up to a 4.5 after a few more listens.



The weird guitar effect at the beginning of Warming Up is strangely awesome by the way.



And Inside My Head still sounds like a Foo Fighters' song to me. haha

Does make sense.



Pretty sure they used to cover 'My Hero' live too. Not sure they do that anymore though.

Yeah, I had to throw The Fooeys into the Reco section because there is definitely some influence there. I'd love to see them play 'My Hero'.

Still tossing up Rowdy. Saw them last time they were here & they put on a great show, that's for certain. They have me intrigued about the extra special guests too (on top of Tenacious D).

It's definitely a grower. It's whether or not people feel it's worth the extra effort.
