Your passion and excitement about the record really comes through in your writing, and actually caused me to listen to this record on my bus ride home. It's a great album, and one I'm still immersing myself in. It will be great to see how these songs translate live, so I can't wait until they come back through town. Plus, these two take the best promo shots for their records I've ever seen. Very hawt :) Great review Josh.
