This album is head and shoulders above the previous work. Now don’t get me wrong I liked the earlier work and I liked their RosFest performance some years back, but it was always decent never spectacular.
This album though, by Steve Unruh’s on admission is the one album he wanted to listen to after it was complete. And after hearing a lot of it live at the RosFest after party and spinning it at my house I really have to say that this is one of the best releases of the year.
