Ian Anderson - Homo Erraticus

Can you post a review of this one?  I'm really interested in it but I'm seeing mixed reviews.

I have listened a couple times now and its pretty comparable to TAAB2. I know a lot of people dont pay attention to lyrics but you kinda have to with Ian Anderson. I didnt think the lyrics were as strong as before though. Overall I thought it was a good listen.

CD:

Steelwing - Roadkill (...Or Be Killed) - 4 track single with 2 non-album tracks
Sebastian Bach - Give 'Em Hell - Digipak

Vinyl:

Oz - Fire In The Brain

Yeah, I'm not a lyrics person at all but I always pay attention to Ian's lyrics; they helped me pass a poetry class in college thanks to Heavy Horses and Moths.

Cro-Mags- Age of Quarrel/Best Wishes (2004 reissue). FINALLY! I bought this in 2004 when it was normal CD priced, and also had the original CD pressing of Best Wishes. Sold them both in 2006 when I sold my whole collection. I finally was able to re-obtain it for a reasonable (to me) price, of $23.

MP3:
Bruce Springsteen- American Beuaty. This is the MP3 version of Bruce's Record Store Day offering. I couldn't get out to see if I could find the vinyl. A nice 4-song EP that compliments his recent High Hopes well, if you are a fan of that.

Dude! That CD is excellent. A lost gem from the 90s. Unless it's a different band.





This band?

Yup. That be them.

I'm quickly finding out that Zipper Catches Skin is a lost Cooper Classic. Scrooge's Song demands a badass cover. I may have to record one just for the hell of it.   

Major score over the weekend - popped down to Baltimore on Saturday and Soundgarden had a copy of Neil Young's Archives Vol. 1 for $39.99. As I'd been waffling about picking up Decade on CD again for ages, it seemed the better idea to grab that much more music for not a whole lot more.

Got the thing home and it turned out they'd bought the DVD version that plays back in hi-def and which resells on the cheap side online for $200 and mistaken it for the CD version. Was mildly bummed at first and then I realized it wouldn't be too hard to find certain web resources in which a rip of the CD version could be had and, I gotta be honest, Neil in hi-def sounds friggen SWEET!

"Down by the River" cranked on my stereo sounded AMAZING!
