now up on amazon.com US! wanted to get it on iTunes, but it's still not up.
swinging for the fences for a hit single with this one, and good for them. hope it works!
if a comparison is needed, it's in the same vein as Green Day's "Last Of The American Girls". Scott really nailed the vocal. the main thing I noticed is that the production and sound quality are way above what we're used to on WHs recordings (in other words, sounds like a current major label release). the vocal is up front; clean, clear and intelligible. the guitars are fat and in tune. if the short samples from the rest of the album are any indication, I think that's gonna be true of the whole recording. I think they learned alot of lessons from recording the covers cd, both in terms of the economy in writing style as well as going in prepared and knowing what they want on the production end.
one thing's for sure... this is gonna be way different than any of their previous albums (and again, good for them... and all of us)! I think the new direction will serve them well.
don't know if I can stand the one month wait to get my hands on the rest of the album!
