I have to agree. I just got my copy this weekend & have only had the
chance to listen to it once or twice but.... wow.

I'll try and post a more detailed review after I let the album sink
in. But basically, it seems that Mike's refined the crazy-beat-fuckery of
Lunatic Harness into some more eloquent rather than just going nuts all
the time. Take that and mix it with Mike's knack for melodies deployed
with new textures/equipment (not much DX this time) and you've got a
pretty damn good album. Great even. 

I think the press sheet said it'll be out sometime in July. But like I
said, let me listen more and I'll try and report later.
