Took a while for Sweet Sour to grow on me enough that I really like it now. This one will probably be the same, but then I've only had one half-assed listen at work and its kinda hard to hear much over the engines...

Only had 3 listens and my first impression in regards to music rarely counts (most of my favourite albums and bands took a while to sink in). But right now I prefer their first two efforts, though I think these songs are going to kill it live.
I really like the album. I had it on repeat at work and listened about 5 or 6 times. It got better each time.

The first half is just as good as the material on the first album but it goes a little downhill from there. I've only heard it once all the way through and I like it better than Sweet Sour but its not as good as BDDFH.

It will be tough to put out another album that is comparable to their first album. I compare everything they put out to that album too, but this album is still really solid.

I can't stop listening to 'i guess i know you fairly well'

That is a killer tune. I think this album is just as good as the first 2. And now off to Zurich to see them live! :)

Ya, that is a great song. I also really like Hoochie Coochie. It is so up beat and catchy. Heaven's Key is also realyl good, although much slower of a song.

I am going to see them in Toronto and Detroit, but Zurich would be incredible!! Lucky lucky man!!

Hmm..maybe it will grow on me with more listens.

Always excited for new things from them, though..

Baby Darling Doll Face Honey is back up on Amazon, must have been a re-press?
