It's great to keep a positive attitude though, even of you are in a nest full of people who work for said idiot band...I was let down by the album but I've bought many albums in hte past 30 years. with Son Volt ranking as my favorite, that I'm not really surprised I'll only listen to it once..turpentim wrote:Babelfish doesn't work for shit.widespreadchanges wrote:This album is just like Sebastopol. It's not any good. I tried to go to sleep and I don't know how you could listen to this crap after Trace-WST...Jay Farrar just isn't any good lyric writer folk musician anymore...Irreversibly Negative. If I want to hear that album I 'll go listen to Drivin N Cryin Check Your Tears At The Door 10 times....

Got my copy via Amazon yesterday. Sounds exactly great.
"The Storm" is my new favorite. Reminds me Gob Iron era. Sounds like Woody Guthrie singing with Mississippi John Hurt and Fred McDowell.
"Midnight" is another killer track. Dirty chord tunes are great. Feels very dark and great. Jay's vocals are awesome.
"Cherokee Street Girl" and "Promise The World" will be great classics like Strands or Back into Your World. Great road tracks...
Thank you Jay Farrar and Mark Spencer for this great tunes...

I've listened to it multiple times now and my view has been tweaked a bit: The first two tracks, both of which I like very much, seem to be old school Son Volt. And then the album veers into a direction with the last cut, Threads and Steel, seeming like an outlier (maybe a Honky Tonk-er).
My new favorite is Cairo and Southern, along with Promise the World, Back Against the Wall and Midnight.

It is friend. I got mine with the pre order. To be honest, I can't tell the difference from my rip in iTunes to the FLAC files. I'm not saying you shouldn't get the FLAC files. You might hear the difference. My hearing is shot anyway.wheelhousetunes wrote:Thanks for the info on the downloads! I'm hoping FLAC will be an option.
