Quite a hard rocking disc IMO, and unmistakably AE; trademark guitar touches and a bit of cello there in the distance. Why two references to Louie Louie, I don't know; you'd think Dirty Water or some other tune would have worked for variety. (and kind of funny as we were discussing Louie Louis last night.) Obvious references to the Nuns and Rank & File. Good to hear him back and strong. Looks like he's got some power behind him too; influential friends. I missed the Boxing Mirror, but this album reminds me of some of the AE live shows I've experienced- loud, powerful.

Thanks for the mention, Donald. I was interested based on the advance 
hype, but the three songs I listened to at his site weren't that 
interesting. I still may give it a chance, but I may wait until I can 
borrow a copy first.
