I just received this this morning and all I have to say is wow. I mean WOW. I was not expecting this kind of quality...in song writing or in performance. If I didn't know better I would think that Matt IS the singer or is it Ripper, because Stu hits some Ripper like highs. Total surprise, this one...in a good way. And Stu actually got to do a lot of writing...another surprise. This CD could remake this band.
