Its good, but I can't help but feeling slightly disappointed with only 34 minutes and two tracks being just instrumental pieces (good ones at that, mind you, but still).

Finally getting to hear the new record in preparation for seeing them Friday. First off, it sounds amazing. Clarity and heft, and though Wino is way up front as always it doesn't take away the power of the band behind as it does on some of the 80s records. However, there isn't a lot of meat on the bones. A short record, and not incredibly memorable despite being recorded so well. Maybe it'll grow a bit more over time, but I'm a few listens in and waiting for the earworm. I do expect the songs will work well live mixed in with the classic material.

The poor opinions of the rhythm section way upthread do not compute. They slay.

pretty sure one of the verses on the new album's song "bleeding ground" is about chem trails :/

Spirit Caravan were so much better. ― pdf (Phil Freeman)
Agreed. The Hidden Hand, also, was much stronger musically and lyrically than St Vitus. Wino's other bands essentially do the same thing but better. Especially the lyrics and riffs.

Definitely disagree. Vitus trumps all those other bands. CLASSIC.

Just found out there is a tribute band out there named Ain't Vitus. Love both the name and that they exist.
