Strawberry Hotel - Dirty reviews

[joethelion]

Been meaning to post my thoughts on the new album for a while, but hey... infants take up a lot of time!

I was worried I was having a bit of "Phantom Menace Syndrome" b/c it was just the 'new' album, but honestly - I still think the album is great. I will say - It definitely works better on vinyl, than on cd... just so you have these pauses between each side (Disc 1, Side B is all killer)

In its vibe - it kind of reminds me of R&K's radio shows in the early/mid 00's, where you'd hear rough demos mixing with more polished tracks.

I will say, it's borderline perverse to still have a Japanese exclusive bonus track these days.
