Is really good.
There's something that kicks a ton of ass with the production of this album. It's dirty in a really cool way. The guitars aren't super tight, the production isn't uber-clean (which is quite different for Johnny K). The snare on some songs is almost annoying...but only because you can tell it isn't a super processed sample. Maybe annoying is the wrong word. It sticks out, has a lot of body, but doesn't sound "right" for modern production...I don't think I'm making a lot of sense here. Anyway, the album just sounds huge. I'm on my 5th listen today, and I haven't liked anything this band has done in almost 10 years.
Just thought I'd throw it out there. Stand-out track would be "The Bottom" for me. "Paper Wings" is a pretty slammin' track as well.
Also, Mike shreds it up on this album, and it isn't just incessant wanking.
