I'm waiting for my Vinyl copy to arrive, luckly Amazon had the Auto Rip feature so I downloaded the album right at midnight lol. So far after a few listens I am impressed, I think it is a good album with some real memorable songs. A Kingdom Ablaze really grabbed me on the first listen, what a great song.

Agreed, I quite enjoyed Kingdom Ablaze too

Sadly, I cannot find the vinyl in Canada yet... and to buy from Frontiers records is going to cost me nearly $60 CAD... Dennis I love your work, but I'm not paying that much for a regular vinyl record

Hoping to get a physical copy soon enough!

3rd listen, very good. Is it his best? Do not know yet. Right now the only cd above it is 100 Years. Something I noticed and could be I just over looked, but I did not hear a lot of keyboards up front on the songs.
So most of yall are doing vinyl? I never have gotten into records. Wear out to fast. Hoping to pick up up my CD this weekend. But for now Google Play works good.

I'm listening now and it's OK. and trust me, I am all in on DDY right now, so I am wanting to LOVE this.
I think the songs are fine, but I am not digging the mix much at all.......the damn vocals are overpowering everything and while many believe that is a greta way to make a song sound bigger and more powerful, it actually makes it sound unbalanced and amateurish.
Hoping this issue is not prevalent throughout.

Ok now I’ve listened on a couple of different sources and the mix is better that what I initially thought. I still think the overall vocal mix is a tad heavy for my tastes but not nearly as bad as what I thought earlier.
Overall it’s a solid album.

Hmmm.. I pre-ordered on vinyl and it shipped, will be delivered on Tuesday. However there is no "auto rip" to be found and it wants me to buy the digital tracks. Odd because I have Prime. May have to investigate further.
I have heard it a couple of times already. Still need time to let it all sink in. While it's pretty good to me, it isn't great. I still like Desert Moon best and I could do without all that talking before "With All Due Respect". Also find it kind of odd that AD 2020 is on this album and not Vol 2. Maybe that one will be AD 2021?

My Auto Rip from Amazon came in a separate email on Friday. If you have gmail, check your other folders, it might be in there.

Yeah, got my auto rip and didn't even realize it. It automatically downloaded to my phone without me knowing it so it is there. Found it on my phone over the weekend.
