Love it. Just need to find a retailer with it reasonably priced. Amazon Canada wants $49.98.

The year has finally got into high gear, with releases from Ghost, The Night Flight Orchestra and now this one. Quite superb again....this bloke never fails to deliver absolute quality releases

Awesome musician.  Another example of an artist who would have been all over MTV and Circus Magazine had he broke in 1983 rather than 1993.

Same ol' same ol' from the fella. Some of this stuff I hate ('Black dog,' 'Sons of America' and 'Masters of our minds'). But as always, he has those few gems on there which still continues to make his albums worth a listen. 

'Judgement Day' is a really good opener, 'High as a kite' is a tacky but nice melodic rock tune and 'The Bitter End,' like the opener, is another damn good anthem kind of rocker. 

But the show stealer is the above tune... 'Eleanor Robyn.' I guess as a father of two kids basically the same age as Robbie's girl, the song really struck a chord with me. You don't really hear songs about kids, and that probably for the best, lol, but a lot of the lyrics here are kind of where I'm at too and although it's also quite tacky, it really hit the spot for me. Seeing the clip adds to it too. Love the song.
