Yes it's bloody brilliant.Those first 4 tracks are a massive kick in the teeth, how fucking good is Quick Escape? Jesus. And then it settles down into some really beautiful song writing. Buckle Up is a bit weird but growing on me, but all the best PJ albums have some fucked up weird thing on there.
I agree it's their best since Yield as well. Avocado was good, but there's just something about this effort I can't put my finger on, it's completely unforced whereas Avocado seemed like a bit of a deliberate "comeback" album.
Oh and some of McCready's solos sound like he's 25 again. Amazing.
