I have Tracker in my car. I play it every (work) day while driving since the release. I still love it!

all his other celtic stuff pales into insignificance for me.

You will be up and dancing when OP is played I'm sure!!!

No, because in the meantime, I think it is rather "thin" and boring in the second half. I listen to three or four tracks once a week or so, though. Track 1, 3, 3 again most of the time, 5 and 6. And sometimes I think the real quiet gems, Heart Of Oak and Time Will End All Sorrow, are the best tracks on it.

But that's just me, probably caused by too much listening during the first two or three weeks. Also I have very little spare time at the moment.
I find myself falling asleep when I try to listen to it. Not too bad for a person with very light sleep! Thanks Mark at least for that!!  ;D

I listen to it now and then. Not all the time, like some of the people on AMIT do. There is so much wonderful music out there still to be discovered. It would be insane to stick to music you already have heard more then 10 times. Life is to short. The past few days I am going for example through the catalog of Howlin' Wolf and  Derek Trucks.

Howlin' Wolf - Three Hundred Pounds Of Joy

Yes, I still listen to it a lot. In my opinion MK is finally back after two really dull albums. Great guitar on this one too, best since Shangri-La. Faves are Laughs, Basil, River towns, Long cool girl, Silver Eagle, Wherever I go and My Heart has never Changed.

It's in my car CD still and I listen sometimes on the way to work and back if i'm not listening to Radio 2; and at work I listen if I want something different to the radio. I listen to River Towns and Skydiver a lot. The song i've listened to the least is Broken Bones. Laughs and Jokes is probably my favourite opening song Mark's done..

yes. on the way to work.
but already with a lot of skippers.
Best: Laughs and jokes, Basil, Beryl, Terminal, Silver Eagle
My little daughter loves Skydiver, she is always singing along. Very cute
Taormina is 50-50 a skipper. sometimes I like it, sometimes I skip.

I always skip River Towns, Broken Bones, Mighty Man,Time will End, My Heart...

Tracker is the best sounding MK album ever. Very good in the mix are bass, drums and of course MK's voice and Guitar.
It is better than Privateering and Crimson. But all other are better. So...
I am very excited which songs they will play on tour.
Love will find a Way

OK, now I begin to listen to the 18 tracks on the way to work and on the way back home every day.  And Mighty Man can also be enjoyed when I'm down.

So reading the last number of posts it seems a lot of people are merely using the album to listen to "in the car" and/or "while travelling to work."  Is this really the making of a cracking album?   :think

Lack of time I guess. Of course a finely produced album loses much of its strength when heard on the road. On the other hand, it may be a very good test to see if it is the songs or the production...
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

Lack of time.  And those 18 tracks fit the time I spent travelling to work.  Also, I play the album at home for family lunch at weekends.

Oh my gosh, dmg!  :smack

Tracker is not relegated to 2nd class album status for me!!  It plays in the honored spot (in my car, or on my runs), where I have time to myself.   8)

I don't listen in the car, but Tracker gets my undivided attention, in the evening, when I can relax and listen to the album in it's entirety!   Absolute bliss!    :)
