New Kevin Devine

So I know that the new Kevin Devine album leaked a while ago, but as I've stated before, I don't endorse illegal downloading (without the inention of buying), so I haven't listened to it until right now.  Man have I been missing out.  I'm starting to feel out Split the Country, Split the Street which has a much different vibe musically than Put Your Ghost To Rest, but is still clever as hell.

Either way, I'm listning to the Brother's Blood right now and even on the first listen it's fantastic.  If you like the more folksy feel of Put Your Ghost to Rest then you'll definatly appreciate the style of Brother's Blood.  I'm pretty sure that Kevin Devine is one of those musicians who's never going to run out of steam.

FIrst Impressions of Common Existence

I'm about halfway through the new Thursday album, and so far I like it much more than A City By The Light Divided. I can't make a very accurate or reliable comment on the production since I'm quietly listening to a leaked version through my plug in speakers, but I think it's an improvement (production has always been my beef with Thursday, it peaked at Full Collapse and crashed and burned on A City By The Light Divided).
I'll be excited to give this album a couple more listens, but I'm pretty sure I'm picking this one up when I gets me some money.
