This is an 8 track album and the first five songs are ALL home runs. From the gutsy intro, to the settled jams of “the great curve”, to the pop appeal of “once in a lifetime”. Holy shit! The final three songs pack less of a punch. “Seen and not seen” has a spoken word boringness. “Listening Wind” fails to inspire and “The Overload” somehow takes us into brooding… metal? Not for me. The first five tracks are five stars. The final three tracks are three stars. We’ll settle on four.
