So apparently this album isn't being released in Canada until May 23rd (it came out in the U.S. on April 18th). But I couldn't wait that long, so I ordered it from Amazon last week and it just arrived today. No surprise, it's another killer album from one of the most consistent rock bands working today. These guys can do no wrong in my opinion. Over the course of one short year, they've become one of my top 5 favorite bands. I can't get enough!
Like any great band, the DBTs are evolving, and the new disc is a bit of a departure for them. It's more of a collection of unrelated stories, as opposed to the "concept album" feel of their previous efforts. So far there's only one song I haven't warmed up to yet (A World of Hurt), but the rest of the album kicks just as much ass as anything else they've done. Man, what a great year for new music so far. New Pearl Jam, new Drive-By Truckers, new Sam Roberts, new Ben Harper, and hopefully some new Hip!

I downloaded it a month or so ago and it's been in pretty heavy rotation since then. I'll have to pick up the cd when it finally gets released here but the tunes are all great. I found that I liked it right away, but it's gotten a lot better for me over time.

I was just in Vegas, and was REALLY close to making a trip to LA to see them last night....it didn't work out which is a shame, as I don't think they will ever come anywhere close to Cowtown..
