This is a really cool album and one that I would have never crossed paths with if not for this project. Send Me on My Way is one of those songs you've heard all over the place in commercials or TV shows but only from that. Like I alluded to in my earlier thoughts, that's not a song that would make me seek out this album.

And so I came in no knowing much of what to expect but also with low expectations. Then Drum Trip starts and within 15 seconds it had grabbed my attention. It immediately flows right into Ecstasy and suddenly my expectations are through the roof because that's a hell of a way to open an album. Send Me... comes next, and while it's the "big hit", for me it's merely good and a come down from the high. The rest of the album is up and down after that but when it hits it's really something.

Perhaps I've just got the Rank the Albums results from Bob Marley on my mind, but I expect that this album might prove equally "divisive". I think people who like this will really like it but for some this might be a complete turn off.
