They already have their sixth album recorded so maybe he'll do his epic 8/11 fills there.
Until then I'm really digging Desparate Graves.

I like Teflon, this is really good. It's so different, but that's what makes TMV good. I think you need to think of each album as a different entity. I'm digging the production.

Kind of a snooze-fest...but that's true of most of their post-Frances output.

Boring would be the last thing I'd call Bedlam.
Anyways I'm loving Ikey's parts in this album.

Yeah, I dug two songs on Bedlam, but you're right, compared to this it's like crack.

I'm guessing this will be a favourite of mine, it just needs tome time to grow. There's a lot going on here and that's what I like. It's not as instant as the other TMV albums, even if it is more accessible.

I think It's their best epic since Meccamputechture.
