What an amazing album...surpassed all my expectations. Louie's done a great job on production and it sounds great. The Last Men on the Moon is the stand out track for me, which I wasn't keen on when they played live. This Song is my least favourite. Probably the best post-Hugh album in my opinion

Well after 3 or 4 plays I don't think it's all that. :shock:

I still don't rate Payday at all. Need to listen more.

1st listen on Spotify, not the least disappointed; can’t wait to listen to the album on my HiFi.
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings, and then I just got tired.
