I'm loving the new album.  It's startling how energized the band sounds. As others said,  I concur it's probably the strongest album since FY. It definitely marks a high point for the band.  As far as energy they haven't released anything consistenly energized like this since P=A.  For some reason, this album has made me want to listen to P=A even more and I've reached a new appreciation for that record as well.  I love the submerged sounds of the likes of HOB too but it's great to hear them charging with this new evolution of their sound. Its almost like a cyclical evolution, a returning to roots laid in P=A.  I am looking forward to the release of the US vinyl.  I ripped the stream from the original RS post and the additional tracks I ripped from youtube but not to worry as I will be buying both the vinyl and flac once it is available.   Really looking forward to seeing them on the US tour as well.
