I am amazed at how fresh the band's jamming sounds (Golden Age, Light before getting cut off and the 46 Days>Steam.) Gone are the cliche licks and riffing. Their sound is democratic, loose, confident and dynamic. All four members are equals. It also sounds like they've been listening to completely different music in their free time. Yes, there's room to grow and develop, but the creative juices are as alive as ever. It's too bad I've gotta wait 3 weeks to see them on the west coast!
