Finally got mine today! (It was in the post yesterday, but I was so late at home that got it this morning). I donīt know, does anything matter these days, but I think it is quite great I got it itīs release day!
I have listened it once properly and I have to say itīs just great! And I know somebody not gonna like this, but I just have to compare it Thurstonīs Demolished (I think itīs very natural, both are SY guitarists and there is not even a year between their albums). Of course those albums are different, Lee is sounding Lee and Thurston Thurston. But I still find a lot in common. Both album a greatly influenced by the sixties/seventies music, but really arenīt kind of nostalgic trips. They both sound just very fresh and warm, a kind of music that is very rare these days. Most of the both albums are just great, but they have also few ok songs that fit well in the entity but anyway are a little mediocre (Lee Lost and Stranded, Thurston Blood never Lies and Space). Thurstonīs album main element is light, but thereīs more something dark in the Leeīs. But that darkness in not attacking, both albums have serene maturity that anyone who has only twenty years life behind couldnīt achieve.
And yes, this solo isnīt also as great as SY-records. But Iīm really glad Lee made it, because itīs lot better than there isnīt any Sonic-related releases. Both solos are so great that Iīm not worried anymore if SY never will make anything.
I think fans who donīt like this album are just stuck something that donīt exist anymore. All I can say to them is that they should move away from SY to something else.
