    backing vocals in the chorus of 'trouble with never' are outstanding. and the bassline under the solo/bridge.

      I think the lyrics to "Blood and Fire" are some of the best on the album. You can hear Dave's joy in just singing the words. After all the shit they went through over the years and they are finally back together. Gives me chills just thinking about it. Still the best solo on the album too.

                      "Stay Frosty" is the other song that has killer lyrics. Just amazing. When the hammering guitar comes in, it just wants to make you fucking bang your head.

                        I know Stay Frosty is going to be my favorite. Any song that delays that huge "hit" is killer on the car stereo. You really have to CRANK IT and try not to go off the road!

                        Oh dear.

                          =VH= are you fucking kidding me??? I cannot believe I'm listening to =VH= !! This record has attitude, muscle and charm. This record should be a blueprint for the new millennium! 60 is the new 30! No band at 60 has ever rocked this hard and sounded this good. Fuck No. These boys need to do a World Tour! I won't even decide which song is best because I need to absorb this experience. Uh oh, album just ended,... repeat

                              Whoever mixed this record should be shot in the head. The sound is narrow, with very little separation between the r/l channels. Almost mono except for small bits in a few songs.

                              I'm no audio engineer... but damn.... my goldfish could do better.

                              Other than that, it's a fucking masterpiece.
