They've leaked quite a few songs, which have been, for the most part, a return to form from their first two albums (don't even get me started on the shittiness of Mirage Rock.).

Whole album is out and available on the regular streaming services. Digging it so far, though the opening track is a slooooow burner... but kicks arse on the back half.

Three songs in.... this is the way BoH is supposed to sound. So happy to have this album.

Definitely can feel that Jason Lytle influence in the production work and direction, which is a bonus. Like getting a new Granddaddy and a new BoH album.

Nice. I will go check it out. As long as there is no crappy "The Funeral" on it then it will be good. Actually I never did give Mirage a chance, because I heard all the negatives about it and I thought Infinite Arms was hit and miss. I guess I should so I can judge for myself.

Do you seriously not like Funeral? I mean... did you not like it at first or just after it got overplayed?

Weird. That's a great song imo.

I've never liked it. When my friend first turned me onto them a few years back, I told him how out of place that song sounded on the record. It was the only one I did not like. He told me that's their "hit" song, and I was amazed by that. Then it hit me why I don't like it plus why it is their hit: it's formulaic pop. The opening/main guitar reminds me of the 3 chord/single key piano of the majority of piano pop songs.

The rest of that album is on point though

Good. Someone needs to release a good album.

Tracks I've heard from Low Anthem, The Head and the Heart and Avetts are all horrible

Agreed. Album is really good. Actually kind of psyched to see them at Voodoo this year.

I don't dislike the song. But it's execution on their Ryman album is pretty terrible. The rest of the recording is great, but I generally skip that one.

New album is fantastic. I guess I am in the minority and don't think they have written a bad song on any album. Infinite Arms is actually my most favorite record by them.

That new BOH song about a party is one of the worst songs they have ever made.
