Giving it the first full listen now. Loving it so far. Such an evolution of sound, but still clearly BoC. It will take its place amongst all the other BoC greats. Pretty emotional listening to this..

I really liked it, but still need to give it a full straight through listen.

What I love more than anything else, is it's an ALBUM. Not a 45 minute jumble of tracks, but a proper 70 minute sonic tour de force with a narrative. Don't know what it is, but it feels like it's there.

Good day today

As a die-hard fan since the 90ies this came as total surprise to me.

Listened a handful of times and I still love it.

Someone commented 'last album' or another 13 years :)

Life gets more distracting as we get older, and I suspect BoC care more about the art and less about the need to keep their brand alive.

Another before 13 years is up would be lush, I'm getting old! If they don't I won't be surprised, but hopefully they'll make sure more of their non-album works make it out and about. Like you, I love what they do and how they do it, and they've been in my life for a similar amount of time.

It's nice that BoC leave the art to speak for itself! As such, it's good to look at those inspired by them too methinks :)
