Makes me want to build something. Like remodel the living room. Build a wall or something. Drink beer from a can. Listened completely and on my
second spin before I sleep. I like it.

It's definitely more laid back and more friendly sounding than any album they've done before, but aside from a song or two I didn't like too much,
it's still pretty good. I know everybody is citing the Rolling Stones influence on this record, but I hear at least as much Springsteen as Stones.
That's a good thing in my book, by the way. I think they stepped a little further away from their standard formula in making this album and in all
honesty, I'm surprised they finally did that. Social Distortion has worked that same formula for a hell of a lot of years now and while I think they
did a pretty good job of not letting that get stale, it's nice to see 'em try something different. I think there will probably be quite a few guys
with Sick Boy tattoos that might get tears in their eyeliner the first couple times they spin this album, but for anyone who can appreciate the
songwriting a bit and not just wish for 10 more albums just like the majority of their back catalog, I think it will probably hold up pretty well.

I think this is dope. WLWHWT and Sex Love Rock N ROll were a bit too similar to me (although great records). This is still Social D through and
through but with some great and acceptable detours. Into it.

just now getting around to listening.
track 2 - california hustle and flow - sounds like a damn ACO song!
generally, i like SD, but i only have sex, love and rock n roll and self titled. never seen 'em live, so the fans haven't had a chance to turn me
off.
side note:
i really like the idea behind this promotion (the more streams, the cheaper the purchase price), but 500,000 in a week seems... aggressive.

musically I like it, but he uses the same phrases from songs of the past. Not sure I will buy it, but I will stream it a few times to see if catches
me more. I am not digging the women backup singers. Seems like an attempt to just make it sound fuller.

I am loving this album, but their finest moment for me is still Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell.

I thought so too, but it looks like it only takes someone listening to a single song as a full stream, so if most folks stream the whole album it adds
up quick.
I think the count jumped by about 17000 in just the time it took me to listen to the album once.

At first listen of the first 4 tracks, it is very weak, and I am a mega-fan.
Need to get to the rest. If I don't like it, this will be the first SD record I do not buy.

I got the new cd. A friend of mine works at a record store and hooked it up. Nice packaging and fuck this cd is very good. I understand the glossiness
of the sound but I always thought of SD as a glossy radio friendly band anyway.

I love the new album. My daughter and I are listening to it a lot together. It has been a very cool experience with me and her.
To me the album is a more "mature" album with Rock and Roll roots. It isn't punk to me, it is like good American Rock N' Roll. I'm a mark for this
band though. I pretty much will like anything they do.
Diamond in the Rough is my favorite track.

"Still Alive" has a chorus that won't quit.

My five year old was singing song when he went to bed. Had the words wrong, but I knew what he was singing. AHAHAHA. We drove around listening to it
today so....

AHAHAHA. SD fans are worse than Rush fans. At least Rush fans can claim they love the legendary drumming Neil Pert.

not sure about the eyeliner, but we know one dude who came to mind with a sick boy tattoo who's known
to get teary eyed.....it might not be rockabilly enough for him
