Considering how prolific they were for the first decade of their career, they've really taken their time between the last 2 albums. 4 years and now 5. Maybe this will grow on me, it's a decent song, but it's not blown me away after a few listens.
I remember reading years ago before they released Woodstock, they had a whole album finished and ended up scrapping it, before going back to the studio to record Woodstock. Dig the song though, glad they're back with new stuff.
It was a double album called Doomin + Gloomin, a few of the songs made it to Woodstock but the majority remains unreleased
Double album Doomin and Gloomin or something. One of the "scrapped" demos made it as a sample on the Flatbush Zombie's last full length. Amazing song.
I'm seeing them in April (fingers crossed) and I don't know if they'll go the "best of" route for their setlist or if we'll have a better taste of the new album.
