Quote from: gardenparty78 on Yesterday at 05:58 PMI was really out on this album after Squid Ink came out and even my first full listen through.Of all the dumb rockers MMJ have made (highly suspicious, holding on to black metal, squid ink), Squid Ink is the best.
Gotta say on my third listen to the album I am hearing so much that I completely missed on first listen.
Great melodies, great playing, great mix.
I think we have an album I am really going to enjoy here!
S/T was not my cup of tea. Loved Waterfall and most of Waterfall 2.
Don't think I could rate the songs just yet, as some I didn't enjoy on 1st listen are quickly climbing...except Squid Ink:)

Also still really happy with Everyday Magic. My wishlist for this record included some kind of funky little number, I couldn't have imagined anything better than this song. The breakdown before the last chorus has that live Dondante energy where they flip the disco switch. One of the best examples of the band capturing their live essence in studio! I can imagine Carl ripping through it with his sax
Also still obsessed with Die For It. That Psychedelic 70s rock vibe is such a great fit for this band and something I want more of in the future! That outro is the closest thing I've had to an opioid high since I quit using![]()
