After 1st listen: 6/10
Have to agree a little with the Gaffa review: It's simply not as exciting as i would have hoped.No songs stand out as amazing. And imo there's a little too much mellotron on this. BUT as always i'm gonna give it several more listenings. And we'll see if it grows.
Fav so far: Ship of fools

Extatic!!
Got my copy yesterday.
Beautiful packaging. Really spices up the record collection. The dvd was good, as expected. Think they really managed to capture the magic of the play really well (I went to see it). And the small documentary was an enjoyable watch.
…but the album itself was a little bit of a downer. Seems to me that they cut all the really cool songs/ideas, and left us with a mellotron showcase album. Where are all the grandiose heavy pieces? The ones which truly showcased this units abilities, and elevated the overall experience so much?
Not complaining. But rather pondering….did they leave these for the next album?
Did any of you who attended the surprise gig with the new material, recognize any of the "play songs" in their set?
Hoping to hear some of that material on the new album! Seems like a shame to….well…let it go to waste (even though it really worked well in the play).
I posted my take on "One way or another" some time ago. Think it's pretty much right ->
One way or another
I will show them i'm no pushover
One way or another
And i will show them, i won't take it laying down
One last time
Cus i have had as much as i can take
And one way or another
I will show them i'm no loser and no clown
One last time
Cus if i don't it won't ever stop
Pushing, pulling
It'll never end and never be enough
Pushing me this way, pulling me that way
(Pushing, pulling)
tearing me down
I never thought that it could go this far
One way or another
The grind ground on and somehow raised the bar
One more time
It's not too late, there's still some fight left in this hound
And one way or another
I'll lift my leg and widdle on your playground
One last time
Cus if i don't it won't ever stop
Pushing, pulling
It'll never end and never be enough
Pushing me this way, pulling me that way
(Pushing, pulling)
tearing me down
If i don't it won't ever stop
Pushing, pulling
It'll never end and never be enough
Pushing me this way, pulling me that way
(Pushing, pulling)

Song of all time:
I pick my mother!
Solo:
I've been utterly weak for the solo in Wishing well from Roadwork 4. There's just something to that shift from being nice to naughty that always floors me.
Riff: Jeez…ok…Mad sun! (Both el. and acc.) – No words except love.
Bla bla newbie: Just trust me and listen to everything!
Good to see the Motorpsycho name on another compilation. But although a great song, Lacuna/sunrise seems like an odd choice…Gonna fall in and say that W.B.A.T would be THE song to put on a compilation like this.

Yeah. MP wise it wasn't really that big a deal. More like a showcase for Carte Blanche and their way of doing things. Some nice sounding audio snippets of K9 tho
