"The lyrics are sickeningly sweet and make me slightly teary-eyed."

Bravo for getting that into an uploaded article.

"The spiritual follow-up to 2007's Please Come Home"
where did he say that or how are you reasoning this?
just curious

Seraph, from his website, "The new album is the long anticipated follow-up to his 2007 solo debut, Please Come Home". The post before this one also stated that from now on, all church based material will be released under The Modern Post moniker.

April seems so far away. I loved Please Come Home because written in a way that was not blatantly preaching, similar to Thrice. It definitely had it's bible references, But it was still very relatable for a non believer like myself.

This isn't new Thrice. I don't know if I care about this or not. I wasn't super big on his first solo outing or his worshipy stuff.

This should be good, "Please Come Home" was cool.

Please Come Home was awesome as fuck and a lot of people are missing out.
His spiritual stuff was not my cup of tea, but I didn't expect it to be.

Dustin played an acoustic set and a record store before they played in SLC a few years ago and I was lucky enough to see him perform "Blood & Wine." It was sweet.

Perhaps its because one of the other albums was a Christmas album and the other was a spiritual album.

Kensrue see's this as a sequel possibly because its more personable than spiritual.

A week after my birthday. He's so damn thoughtful!

Fuck. Dustin Kensrue has songs called "Gallows" "Death or Glory" and "Juggernaut"? I'm in love.

It's to be sold with the latest edition of hymnals.

Should be cool.

Excited for this! Here's another new song, There's Something Dark, from a recent show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vFA-U9ga4s
