I'm expecting it to be waiting in my mail box for me when I get home.

Same here. I got notification it shipped yesterday, and it usually takes about two weeks from the place I ordered it from to arrive, so it should probably be here during the first full week of March. Although, because it's winter, if a storm comes, that could knock it back by a day or two. Let's hope that doesn't happen, though.

I am also waiting on my pre-order from Amazon. Should be here by the first week of March.

I got mine and I've spun it once. Lots of good tracks. "Welcome To The Garden State" is a hoot - especially the Springsteen outro:

My copy should be here tomorrow.

Edit:

It actually came today. My wife forgot to mention it came in today's mail.

On average, it takes three to four weeks for an amazon order to reach my shores. Guess i have to wait...

Streaming it now [sorry, we're dirt poor]!

Every Overkill album seems to have something unique that we don't normally talk about--the MIX. No two Overkill albums are sonically alike, you know? While White Devil Armory suffered like hell with it's over-amped drums and overkill mids (haha), Grinding Wheel had a deep, almost bluesy darkness about it that I really dug. Again we have Verni and Linsk handling board duties, and I was a bit apprehensive even with the youtube clips.

But goddamn, this is blowing my ears in gorgeous fashion!

This is a thrashy, dirty, Hello From the Gutter Overkill album. The guitar tones, scooped and bright, bring back that nasty quality these rats had once upon a time. I wouldn't quite say the spirit of Gustafon hangs around these tracks, but there's certainly some influence to be found here in both sonics and songwriting.

It's still obviously brickwalled, but sounds strong regardless.

Blitz is top notch as always and gives an asphalt chucking Believe in the Fight, which reminds me of how punky Overkill used to be in the beginning.

EDIT: Oh my god, Keith you are going to LOVE Welcome to the Garden State. $\'arry \'eadbanger$

Oh yes, that was a lot of fun. Filled my mostly-proud Jersey heart with pride. Especially when the Misfits style "Whoaaaa-whoa-whoa" rave up at the end turned into a nod to Springsteen. Laughing very hard

I was kinda on the fence about this new album (do I really need a 19th Overkill album?), but I think that 'Welcome to the Garden State' has pushed me over that fence. Bring it on!

Even though they diss Philly in that song? "She said, 'this is Billy from Philly?' OK, get the f*** outta my state!"

Laughing very hard

That's ok. I've done some pretty reprehensible stuff in your state over the years. Ida kicked me out too Razz

LOL I never even caught the Born to Run reference; that makes it even more badass!

My favorite YouTube post for the Garden State video:

"Someone call the NJ Tourism & Convention Bureau. Your new TV commercial is ready."

Laughing very hard

I've got half a mind to post that video on Kevin Smith's FB or Instagram; he just started shooting the new Jay & Silent Bob adventure and it would be a perfect end-credit song!!

Haha, it's worth a shot. Jay & Bob were shown jamming to King Diamond's "Welcome Home" in "Clerks 2," so they're obviously metal Very Happy

OK, you talked me into it, haha. I suggested "Welcome to the Garden State" on Kevin's FB page, under today's post about the start of shooting on the new Jay & Silent Bob flick.

I'm sure it'll get lost in the thousands of other comments/responses but I did tag both Kev and the band in it, so who knows, maybe this'll be the start of something?? Very Happy

The Wings Of War is a fantastic album. Standouts for me are Welcome To The Garden State and Where Few Dare To Walk.

Huzzah! Good move. Even if the sequel falls to shit--I hope not, I love the first J&SB movie--having that song wrap things up (complete with blooper interruptions, bonus scenes, etc) will just make it awesome no matter what haha.

Crossing my fingers for this! $\'arry \'eadbanger$
