I wasn't really impressed with the first song that was put out but the album itself is pretty damn strong after a full listen.

prepare yourself: doesn't sound much like their old stuff, but it works, you can hear the maturation. I like it.

Thats fine, you gotta expect something different as the band matures.

I downloaded it a few days ago. I really like it, its darker and deeper than their previous albums.

listening now, and on the third track. impressed so far. exactly what these dudes above. more mature. I hope they have a few more "fun" tracks on here, but I still like it so far.

I like the album. Has some really good songs.

But does anyone else feel like it kind of loses it after "Everlasting Arms"?

Maybe it's because those first 7 songs are so good. Especially Hannah Hunt.

the first half is better than the second half.

Almost scored a physical copy last weekend in NOLA from a Starbucks that had put them out early. Damn system wouldnt ring it up though and couldnt talk the manager into it.

DLd instead and have enjoyed. Like everyone else is saying the first half is better than the second and Hannah Hunt is killer.
