2616565, I really hope they tour and drop another album

I know it's a lot of ask from a group that went almost two full decades between releases but they really do sound like a group that still has some gas left in the tank. Some people are going to be unhappy they aren't coming with the straight up Minneapolis Sound but the way they work it in here keeps them from sounding stale imo. I've played this twice now all the way through and have no problems admitting I like this better than Pandemonium & Ice Cream Castles. Yeah I know Jungle Love and the Bird are on there but I've never been a huge fan or either of those cuts... my fav on that album always has been My Drawers. I loved Jerk out but most of the other cuts on Pandemonium feel a little flat for me. This album here really sounds like it was put together by a band... the way they work some of these songs out from the middle on should serve as a reminder of just how damn good these cats were back in the day.

I'm going to go on and give this an 8 out of 10.... very worth the purchase for me.
