This. I'm going to find a stream right now...

I agree with others. This is their best work yet. So good.

Yup.

Have only listened to the whole thing through once but the 3 singles already released are all stellar tracks so I'm looking forward to the album as a whole for sure.

I'm really digging Someday's Gone, Beekeeper's Daughter, I For You, and Gonzo. It's definitely a solid album. At first, I wasn't sure how much I liked it, but it's gotten better after the first listen. It definitely takes the best parts from all of their albums and somehow makes it work.

I just can't get into this cd

i thought WTWCD was a decent release. it had some great songs. i'm excited to give this a listen.

This is a hell of an album. I love the shit out of it.

Such a fucking good album, and they've never released an album before that I don't want to skip a single track on. The production on this is INSANELY amazing-kudos Mr. Greg Wells. "Walk All Over Me" is a fucking jam and a half and I get chills from the crescendo in "Affection" every single time.

Best AAR album hands down. They put so much into this album and it really shows.

I'm sorry I thought this album was horrid. So boring. Sucks because I really like the band. The past 2 releases have been really bad.

Absolutely love somedays gone and at first expected the whole album to follow in that format but no. Its got a really nice layered and 80s feel. For me it'll be like Anarchy My Dear. It'll take some nurturing but I can tell I'll love it eventually. So far I think Beekeepers Daughter is the weakest song. To me it is like a watered down Gives You Hell. On anither note. Personally I really liked their last record. I think Another Heart Calls is one of the most perfectly composed songs

I'm glad you said that cause Beekeeper is the only song I've heard and I wasn't a big fan. Gonna have to spotify this mother

Not sure how you thought this was boring but sorry to hear you did not like it. I think its their best work yet but I can see why some won't like it. Its not as rock as their first 2 release and focuses more on pop. I will admit their 3rd release was hit and miss at times (even though I did enjoy) but this album seems to be doing the pop side of their music perfectly. I kinda hope they don't do a return to roots album after hearing them pull this off.

I oddly get kind of a Pinkerton-ish vibe off of this. I can see this being really alienating to a lot of their...younger fans.
