The two songs I've heard from it are excellent, I'm happy that they were able to get the album out so quickly after Elitist imploded...

When I first heard this, I was a little disappointed (only because I thought Wolverine were going to get back to their metal roots).
In fact, the opposite happened. This is the least "metal" release thus far from Wolverine.
Now, after a few more listens, I'm beginning to realize all the goodness. Is it as good as Window Purpose or Cold Light? No, and I don't think it will surpass, but it's still pretty damn decent considering just how good those other albums are.

I have only heard that "Bleeding" song on MySpace, it r-u-l-e-s, perfect combination of Cold Light's atmosphere and Window's heaviness. Also it reminds a little bit of Psychotic Waltz's "Bleeding" but maybe that's just me.

Whoa you did? That's seriously amazing, try buying some Fates Warning and Psychotic Waltz and see the light appearing n front of you. "Still" is a marvelous album and Wolverine is one of the most underrated (underrated, not unknown eh) progressive metal band of our times.

I never really gave "Still" much of a chance. "Cold Light..." is what sold me on this band, and it's one of the greatest "rainy day" albums ever made IMO.

Yeah. I really don't mind this type of music, but the vocalist is what kills it for me usually. I liked this vocalist and the death grunts helped a lot. And the band isn't wanky.
I also have heard Fervent Dream and liked it. Never heard anything after Window Purpose. Should I?

Funny, I just spun Still today .. it was the first time in a while. It's my favorite disc from Wolverine, but it was also the first one I've heard, and perhaps it stuck in my head and defined the band for me.
I also like The Window Purpose a lot .. it took a while to get into it, but it's a great one. I need to spend some time with Cold Light Of Monday here soon .. bought it down at Prog Power, and I need to give it some proper spins. It never caught on with me a year or so ago when I gave it a handful of spins.

Just go straight to: "Sarah" and "Carousel".
I'm not a big prog fan simply because I find it to lack emotion much of the time (it sounds too clinical) but those two songs exude emotion like you wouldn't believe.
I'm amazed they've never played the stage at PP USA yet.

I'll do that. I'm also not sure why they haven't been asked to PP yet. I'm considering the idea of sponsoring them for Chicago Powerfest .. I really want to see them perform. Hopefully Powerfest will put forth some sponsorship guidelines soon, so I can see if it will fit in the budget.
