I am listening to it for the first time now.
Everything said in this thread is true: it sounds great and full, it features quite some improvised parts, its riffs are pretty much classic rock riffs, sometimes with a certain twist, they’re occasionally drifting into Jazz … yet I can’t hear anything really Heavy Metal.
If you like that, you’ll be happy with this record which captures exactly the essence of what MP is in 2009.
I think I can already say that this won’t become my fav MP record, since I prefer their song-oriented outputs more.
