YESSSS. Must listen.
Sweet artwork, great (and vastly underrated) band.

Really liking this so far. I almost forgot how good those guitarists were.

Ah yeah!

Soo excited for this, have been listening to An American Paradox lots recently, well psyched for this.

Nice.

YES FUCK YES! GLORY

Will listen now

Album needs more solos, excellent otherwise.

Don't know if I like it more, less, or equal to Blackhawks... somwehere between a little less and the same for now.

Gets a high 4.

I'm diggin it so far, about 4 tracks in.
It's amazing after all these years how good they still sound

Holy shit, I didn't know this was even coming out.

listened through it twice now, it's a very high 4 from me. probably going to be a 4.5 if the production quality sounds good on the CD.
Damn good deal on that preorder too.

im trying to get into this band, i remember hearing alot about them a few years back. can anyone suggest what cd i start with?

Twisted By Design and Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues are the more popular early albums... if you're into the "new" sound Element of Sonic Defiance is where it's at.


And the new album sounds amazing.

Way better than Blackhawks in my opinion. Sounding the goods!

If I were you, I'd start with twisted by Design then Exile In Oblivion. EIO is still my favorite of theirs, tho honestly this is pushing it so far... We'll see if it lasts tho.

They're pretty much all great, but I'd go with Element or EIO, followed by AAP and Twisted By Design

Album rules, will be on my Top 5 at the end of the year. More people should listen to this, come on is streaming for free.

New album is so good. Best since AAP. Maybe even Element.

always liked these guys.

Better than Blackhawks? Cuz that was a bit of a letdown.

Definitely better than Blackhawks

After further listen I'm still undecided, but I will say that they are both about = at the moment. I loved backhawks though.

Blackhawks was good but it was really jumpy and lost consistency between songs like Party in the Hills, A War Called Home, and Dirty Little Secret. AOTU is incredibly consistent, memorable and catchy.
