check out the song 'A Song for our Grandfathers' off the new album, that's by far the best song on the record for me.

I've gone from "WTF" to "this sucks" to " i cant stop listening to this".

I saw them last night and they were OK. Maybe I wasn't as wired into the show as the rest of the audience but the rapturous applause seemed a bit out of kilter with the actual performance.

From what I hear they are super nice guys and very humble. But that being said, the music isn't for me.
