I got mine and ripped it last night but haven't listened to it yet. I am hoping to today.

Spun it once. I think it’ll be more of a grower, because it’s less hooky overall than Bloodgood.
The first two songs were my favorites, especially “Scars.” The last track is really good, too. I enjoyed most of the other songs to some degree.
I did not enjoy The Jesus Freak Show at all. Others might dig it, but I think it’ll be an automatic skip for me.
Les sounds phenomenal, as usual.
The lyrics are boldly Christian, thank the Lord!

I haven't listened to it yet, but I did expect some of it to be a little hit or miss.

Almost all the way through. Outstanding album. Zaffiro and Jackson rule!

I finally listened to it all the way through yesterday and I really dig it! Not quite as focused as the last Bloodgood album, and the production seemed a little "mono" sounding for some reason, but a very good solo effort from Les. And as I said before the guitars are fantastic.

I don't care for the first song. It just doesn't sound like it belongs on the album with the rest of the songs.
The bass is WAY too far out in the mix to the point the songs become muddy sounding. At higher volumes, this would cause ear fatigue for most listeners quickly.
Other than that, the songs are well done and Les sounds amazing for a man of his years.

I didn't notice the bass being that far forward, but that is likely because my computer "stereo speakers' don't have a great subwoofer. I did catch that the vocals are a little more "out-front" that I think is best, but certainly not unexpected since it's a vocalist's solo album.
