Thanks for the streaming link a few days ago, Julie! I had a look, but it wasn't until a day or two after and it was gone by then. So I had to wait till the album officially came out
Thanks anyway, though
After having listened to the album a few times, I really like it. I don't really have much more to add to the short paragraph I wrote before, but the stand out tracks are definitely Take Care of Our Own,
Wrecking Ball and Land of Hopes and Dreams for me. Otherwise:
>Jack of All Trades and This Depression are pretty good too.
>Death to My Hometown I'm still unsure of.
>Easy Money and Shackled and Drawn sound too similar for my liking, but I really like their sort of tone
>The remaining three I don't really feel anything for yet. They may grow on me, hopefully
Thing that saddens me, though, is the lack of saxophone. It's only real appearance is on Land of Hopes and Dreams, and it's not nearly enough
Clarence will be missed
Kind of sad to think I'll never have the opportunity to see him play live
Videos above are awesome, too. Looks like these songs all work really well live, too
