guys im a little confused... way back when i joined here i asked about tunes that i should use to break people into the band. two songs that were voted upon by everyone were Inner Glimpse and Doughboy, and someone went on to say, "Definitely those two, anything Adrian sings." ive been living a lie damn it! i feel retarded, but hey i havent seen them yet so i cant hold it against myself.
anyways, this album is definitely good at first listen. i need to let it grow on me, though. i also need to get past my subconscious comparisons to Deuce. TGSOT is phenomenal, definitely my favorite track right off the bat. Score also grabbed me, the horns sound great and i love the tune more and more every time i hear it. i also dig Fairy a lot too, although i think they couldve had a better vocal take somewhere along the line? oh, and the drums sound absolutely incredible on the entire album. not just the playing, but the sound quality is perfect, adrian\'s snare has such a crisp tone. i know this is out of order but sleeping beauty is sooo polished and interesting, i really like what they did with it in the studio. gravity sounds nice, but with all the crazy live takes lately (3.12!) it\'s kind of hard to really get into a studio version at the moment. and the only song i just dont really like still is vera street. i know they did a fine job producing it, and the music is definitely good, but i cringe a little every time the \'la la la la la las\' come in. sorry, just a tad corny for my taste.
but overall its still an album made by the best right now, and barring all expectations i had (while waiting for what seemed like years for this shit) its definitely great.
