The Head and the Heart

Damn harsh. Thats a huge 180 degree turn from my review in the Forevastle thread

that's why I posted it- I thought you would find interesting.

(and to be clear, I really like the album, so not dumping this here to be a hater.   I was just starting to like them when they came through Boston last year, so missed them and regret it.  Looking forward to Forecastle and Newport- I'll be with ya Eric regardless of how many bad reviews I read)

Ha, that reminds me of the RS fall music preview a few issues back. They had a blurb about tHem and they flat out said seeing MMJ was a gigantic influence on their sound for this album.

It's on heavy rotation for me as I'm seeing them Friday. 

To my ears, it's a darker, more serious album.  I think it's a "good" album - ie well-written and made, but lacks a lot of the joy and upbeat-ness (?) of the other album, which always put a smile on my face.   

Not that that's a bad thing, and I never want bands to keep re-making same albums.   I like it enough that I'll stick with it and see where it takes me.

I know exactly what you mean... If I'm in a bad place though.. I know what album to turn to! Haha
