I got real close and intimate with the latest The Sword release.... what the hell was I waiting for?

I couldn't concur more. I love the new direction, especially songs like Mist & Shadow or The Dreamthieves. That first one in particular is one hell of an ear worm.

I don't have the first problem with them changing things up. I love their first three albums, but they basically just made he same album three times. I think it's ridiculous not to expect them to change and grow. I couldn't imagine having to stay in the same box musically for a whole career.

I really hope I get to see them at One Eyed Jacks in November.

I was talking with Orange Goblin's Ben Ward before their show at One Eyed Jacks, and he spoke in reverence of the amount of pot that the Sword consumed on a daily basis. Just more proof of what Bill Hicks said in that drugs have done some good for us over the years.
