while listening first I thought, madness is to take that ?! They have done it again! After "Up to here" follows "Road Apples" - for me the best album of the band! A plate to fall in love, but in order!
It expected the music fan with "adult ears" wonderful guitar away from the mainstream rock. In "Road Apples" are again considerably more blues influences to hear - nicely played Slides, a lot of feeling, clean attacks - the strings "sing" literally - and again expect melodies that do not want to go out of my head.
Was the predecessor already outstanding, the successor is even a thick-upmanship! Very very big Klangkino what provide the masters here! Mir drives "Road Apples" while listening regularly tears of joy in his eyes. My personal highlight of the plate: the absolutely magnificent "The Luxury"!
I want to say something at this point to the sound of the disc: at the time when the CD was produced, there was no loudness was so dynamic limit / increase the volume. And you can hear that the CD also. Transferred from the analog tapes it sounds quite dynamic - and it is simply great when suddenly the chorus uses dynamically bold when silent "The Luxury"! Just as music should sound - this eternal silently strained strumming new produced CDs I'm so slow on the full E ... and sucks huge! Music lives of dynamics and not on the volume !!
Precision landing, 5 stars are not enough - the best record of Canadians and my favorite CD in the collection. Hammer!
