“For me this recording showcases Brendan's playing especially. A very nice mix throughout, except that in some songs I would've liked the bass a bit more prominent. Guitars clear on the front, vocals too. All in all this totally deserves the rating "excellent".
Check out the groovy Furniture! Very inspired sounding, full of fun little tricks. Other highlights for me were a beautiful No Surprise flowing into Argument and onto Blueprint. Also, the last trio of tunes rock the town real good!
Gotta wonder what the stuff about "there's one in every town" is when they turn on more lights on the audience. It does lead to a statement-like bunch of angry old songs. Funny banter later about something fishy going on in the town, which leads to an appropriate Long Division.”
