so it's a double album but with basically 12 songs on it 🤔 isn't that a single album spread over 2 discs 🤣🤣

You mean 13? 

Must be real long intro. ;}

Me too

Been spinning this all day and I can safely say that they have released another belting album. Over an hour of top quality songs supremely performed and produced (as usual)

Top moments so far (but this will undoubtedly change as there is so much to take in)

Kickstart The Sun (+ superb vocal intro)

Teenage Millionaires

Goodbye To The American Dream (Chorus very like The Babys 'Isn't It Time')

The Big Balloon

Smoke & Mirrors

Last Dance Saloon 

Bootleg Bandeleros  (absolutely Epic)

 

Going to be spending a hell of a lot more time with this one

 

 

[Glen]

just got through my first listen.

So much to take in, so I won't comment much but Smoke & Mirrors & Bootleg Bandeleros were superb. 

Maybe a tad too many slower numbers but that's a minor quibble 

[AlphaMale]

About to listen to for the first time.

I bet it's awesome!

[AlphaMale]

This is an ass kicker! Love every tune on here. That never happens. A few weaker moments but for the most part, fabulous!

the whole album is absolutely awesome. This, Ghost and Dan are by far my fav 3 of the year so far 

[tobi is an animal]

not enough lame ballads, needs a couple more.

[CureTheSane]

Two absolute standouts for me are Poke The Witch and Teenage Millionaires.

Saw somewhere that Gary Hart said Bootleg Banoleros is their best song ever written.
Hasn't grabbed me yet.

Question re lyrics Teenage Millionaires.
What is the line after "you're a teenage millionaire"
"check white boys?" 
frustrating me.

No clue... there was me thinkin' it was some kind of cards or gambling term  although the JD thing would make more sense...they do say it quite a bit in the song like it's a partying term

Jack Wild was a child actor from the movie "Oliver" (the Artful Dodger) and "HR Puff n Stuff".

Don't know if that's relevant.

It is a Jack Wild reference apparently. 

They mention it in this interview.

Thanks, makes sense now

Played this after the dreadful new Lillian Axe and mood improved considerbly. Superb album and might just be their most consistent.
