I’ve seen MG play about 15 times and no show has ever lived up to the one I saw on this tour. It was the third time I had seen him play and the first two times he was okay but not amazing. The show on this tour was on another level and felt like someone who was at the top of their game but still had something to prove. The different arrangements of not only MGB songs but different arrangements and extended jams of Avalanche songs hit harder than the album versions. I think at this time Matt’s vocal range was the best of his career and he wasn’t afraid to show it off. it was definitely a special tour and I’m glad to have gone to it. People want an Avalanche anniversary tour but I don’t think it would ever be able to match this tour.

Thank you. This was excellent. I hadn’t heard some of these songs live before.

I like listening to albums from start to finish. But I’m finding it very hard to listen to this one like that. Not because I think it’s a bad album but because I find that Bullets in a Briefcase is so far ahead of any other song on this album that I just want to skip right to it. It’s almost making the other songs extra dull or something that I just feel like skipping to the end. I find that this album is very backloaded with Something Like A Storm and This Is Night being my next faves. All in all, I think the album is great and it definitely grabs me more than CN after my first few listens. Thanks Matt for another great one.

Really liking Harridan, Moment and Cloudbusting. This album is better than the demos led me to believe it would be.

Really good album, they picked up right where they left off. Also saw them live and I cant believe that David Usher is almost 50...so energetic.

So how are the new songs sounding? Are they exactly the same as the album or are they extended? Is anything different in them?

This article: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/music/matthew-good-gets-back-to-basics/article14466539/ says this about Mutineering: "And in Mutineering, he offers a wish to protect his children from the horrors he spends so much time reading about. “They don’t gotcha yet,” he sings." Not sure if that's correct, but I guess it could make sense.

LOVE Letters In Wartime

I like it more than the other video

Loving these samples!

Can't say I'm huge on the single and the record being different doesn't excite me too much, but if I've learned anything about Matt's work it's that if you don't like the sound of one of his records theres a good chance that the next one won't sound anything like this one so no biggie. Thanks for the post Matt, glad you made a record you wanted to make...if it doesn't do well, there can always be an alt-rock record next time...

Thanks a lot for doing this dude...that was a ton of work!
