Yes, as much as I love Guy, I don't think he has great artistic depth, and I certainly don't think he's the type who can push Mark to perform his best. And one does not bite the hand that feeds you ...

They are not, they are just from your point of view.  ;)

Definitely a step up from DtRW.  Vanilla slice anyone?

Yes, with black coffee please. No sugar.

I don't want no sugar in it, thank you very much!

Of course - all posts are our opinions.  It would be extraordinarily arrogant of me to deem these scores as facts.

While I would judge many things different, I realized today that this time the bonus songs are really good enough and at least two or three of them would have made the album better (and longer. I wouldn't change a song out.) So I agree with you on this.

Also there is All Corners which should have been on it. The main album should be the main product. Good thing is, we are able to create our own version of it with playlists etc.

The bonus tracks are of good quality, even the ones on the LP.

Let's just say I'm eagerly awaiting the EP!!!

Have you heard All comers already? No complex soloing, but nice amount of guitar there.

Yes.  Of course just audience recording though.  Sounds very good.

Hi there ! A great album. To be here in a row, for me (including bonus). Very consistent, one of the most coherent album from the maestro.

I've listened to the new album several times.  Personally I like it a lot.  And even if I'm closer to the DS sound I have to say that it has many references to the DS sound.  Ahead of the Game, Two pairs of hands, Scavengers yard, Janine, Before my train comes and the b-side The living end are the TOP for me!!  :)

Are these
18 Dolly shop man
19 Your leading man
20 Wrong ’un
21 Chess
only avalable on the vinyl editions ?
I only have 17 tracks.

I just want to make sure as I only find Scavenger and Living End really interesting.   


Cheers Peter

Yup, the ones you show as 18 to 21 are on the bonus vinyl (box set). Living End is available on the 2 CD version.
