Excellent

Agreed. Sounds like it could have been recorded at the Nellcote back in the days.

Awesome. Barbe producing is huge. I love a good punk rock squall as much as the next guy, but Lee's lyrics deserve to be heard, dammit! And we all know Barbe can create a nice gritty mix without drowning out the vocals (as evidenced by the single, which rules).

Well put. Kind of felt it’s been “in the cards” with Lee all the time that he would eventually go down that route. Barbe’s approach suits them well and is a great choice. Looking forward to hear the rest of the album.

Album released today. Been through it a couple of times already. It's great!

So I've always had respect for David Barbe's work but this and Welcome 2 have solidified him as a genius for me. Bravo!

If you pre-ordered vinyl, the word from Don Giovanni is: Last I heard the LPs are supposed to show up at our distributor's warehouse any day now, if not already. We'll get copies shortly after, so my hope is to have all of these shipped by the end of the month.

I'm glad you all like it, but I can't get into it. Feels like there are other bands that do this better.

Lee is a very important lyricist for these times and anything he does to me has great purpose. I feel this album is a good mix of a lot of their styles over the years. That song "Gentlemen" is one of the best he has ever written. Wow!

Agreed. The guy can sum up my worldview in an album.
