      PURE FUCKING AWESOME!!!

      I don't even need to hear the whole song. That will sell the album for me.

      Thanks Dave.
      Stay frosty now.

            Don't know if anyone saw the entire episode of CSI (besides myself), but they also play "Tattoo" in the strip joint scene...

                        I'm of the opinion that this album is very, very solid.. everything I've heard is upbeat and aggressive.. They're back and you bes get the fuck out of the way.

                          I'll say "ditto" since i can't say it any better than you did, VAiN

                            For some reason, I'm not totally on board with "Stay Frosty" yet.

                            It's definitely a grower for me, and once it kicks into gear it really rocks.

                            But the early parts of the song seem a little rough. I know it's a blues riff and Dave is jamming along, but it sometimes sounds like he's trying to jam too many lyrics in at once, and then the "Stay Frosty" comes in a little late and "rushed." Anyone else picking that up?

                              There is something funny about the timing on the acoustic part but I think it's deliberate.
