[kj] So new album..where does it stand

Agreed, it is a bloody great album!  Fave tracks at the moment are ESS and
The Great Cull.  And Endgame.  The Raven King is quite moving, as expected.
Needs a few more listens before I can rank it with the others.

 

Only got to play it twice through last night: I rushed home, fired up the
laptop, and was about to press play when "the missus" came home from work
and wanted to talk about her day.  Women - they can be so selfish. ;-)

 

Cheers,

Janean

I think it mostly sits in with 2003 personally. It's got an uptempo vibe -
nowehere near as dark as Hosannas.

 

But I can definitely see the pre-first album influences there, mainlu the
guitar, as well as a couple of Night Time and even BTATS references (The
Raven King reminds me a bit of Sanity).

 

Don't see much in the way of Revelations/Fire Dances in there. The drums are
not very tribal.

 

But it's a great album - really enjoying the melody in there and the fact
that Jaz sings on some of the tracks!

 

Good work fellas!

Early days but for those who've downloaded it, what do you reckon it harks
