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.
