Anybody else check out this album yet? I'm listening right now and it's not bad for their first outing in 10 years. Some of Jeff Martin's lyrics are still somewhat cringe-worthy, but the music is exactly what you'd expect from these guys: Zeppelin-esque hard rock with Middle Eastern flourishes, a couple of catchy ballads, and some killer guitar solos from Martin. They're touring for this one as well, starting in Australia of course where they've always been more popular than they are here at home. Word from the band is that a Canada/U.S. tour is also in the works. I missed them on their reunion tour in 2012, so I'll likely try and catch them this time. They've never failed to kick my ass in a live setting.
