You should've told her about your fuckin' day; how&why is yours any less
important, considering the leak n' all.

 

"Honey, it was awesome.. - dontcha wanna know about my day, today? My day. I
got the new download, the new KJ disc, it's perfect! it's great! I love it.
I love you! Don'tcha wanna know how it makes me feel? Don'tcha wanna know
how it makes me feel? I love it! I love it that you love me! I love it that
you're willing to share my day with me even if it is all after the fact n'
all that. It still makes me feel so close to you that you wanna share my day
with me again, that you'll let me relive it all w/you again - the kj cd
download n' all - and with you!  I love you! (do you love me?! =) ) You'll
love this new..." Joke cd, yada yadaetc.etce.ter.aet.cete.ra.ad.naus.eam... 

 Let us know if this doesn't work.

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
back to??
