omg.....this album is just knocking my socks off can't wait to buy it & load up my i-pod. Nothing ugly is reaching my ears but to each there own opinion plus you know what they say about opinions ....... & everyone has one.

New album is very challenging to listen to. And I mean that in a good way. Joe really went a totally different direction with this. Which is kinda weird to say after BSAWW. Another awesome thing about what I've heard so far is that each song is reminiscent of several of his albums. Can't Go Back=Strange Beautiful Music. Lies And Truths= Is There Love In Space? Shine On American Dreamer= The Extremist. The Weight Of The World= Engines Of Creation Listen to them again and you'll hear it. But before I start giving reviews on them, I want to hear them more in-depth. So once I get the album delivered to me I'm going to give it a couple of listens.

Cheesey go back to my post with the msn link where you can hear the whole album. Al, I would love to come to Ireland and go to a Joe show with you sweetie. One day, OK? Are you travelling over to England to see Joe?

Thanks for coming to Mebourne Joe xxx

Claus - turn it down then?

Joe - such an amazing record! It must be nerve wracking working so hard on your 'baby' and then handing it over for us to pick apart, must be scary as hell. There's something for everyone in here, and it's all so good. Classics, all of them. Stellar work as usual

Skippy - thanks lovely. Such a fun, catchy song. It's literally what it says on the tin!

Michelle - love you pippys don't count if you're 7 sheets to the wind when you say it lol. No worries, I will check emails. Guessing package arrived

Three Sheets - didn't Joe say the track was about some well off chap getting plastered and into fights and dodgy situations like taking the wrong night bus? No, it's def not about anyone on here lmao

Lies and Truth - there's an epic harmony hook, three or more guitars I suspect, where it almost sounds like the guitars are letting out a sigh. Does anyone else get that vibe? Killer track!

Cheese - there's a stream, the link is out there, or just clicky HERE and enjoy some fine Joseph

Joe,

I heard you are from Garden CIty NY. I see you do not have any concerts scheduled at the Westbury or Paramount on LI.

In addition, you have nothing sceduled in CT for 2013.

Whats the skinny?

T (tracie) i had my Cd monday which surprised the heck out of me! Wait my cd came n at the store here in canada but my special one with the pictures and shirt and what not will be n later! So ya the cd's here hit shelves a couple days before it was supose to!

OHHHHHHHHHHH.....thanks Pip!! Now I get it, lol! So dang tired when I got in last night, nothing computed for me at all! So very happy today :)) And I owe you an email as well for what was waiting for me in my mail yesterday :D

LOVE LOVE LOVE the new album Joe, it's amazing! Goes in so many directions it's like being on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland, but in the bestest way possible!! Love all the instruments you tossed in as suprises here and there. Can't wait to get my "Official" cd!

Alan Mc, I really do believe that one particular song was inspired by you. Only Joe knows of course, but truly....it's you :) And makes me laugh and smile through the whole song!!

Well, good fer u Mr. Chad! I've never heard of a cd hitting THAT early, but I'da swooped it up too if I was you! Are you loving it??

I said the same thing at first, I almost didn't like it, and I was disappointed. But after listening to the whole album about 20 or 30 times now, I really like it.

Joe- I can feel Beatles on "Tree Sheets to The Wind". Love the diferent ways on the new album. You rock. Always with you :).

Hello Satchland, hope everyone is ok :).

@Skippygirl

Well, that's not the way I'm hearing music. The first three albums (Not of this Earth, Surfing..., Flying...) have outstanding audio quality.

Claus - aha, I see.

On another note, how random can life be? Having a jolly time enjoying the new CD and many other fantastic things going on in my life, and then one of my best friend's 14 year old nephew was killed in a farm accident on Saturday. My friend is the one who once asked me on a girls' weekend away "is that your Joe Santorini music?" she's so sweet. Now she's grieving with her sister.

And at work today I heard a dear colleague of mine on the phone to various people organising his sister's funeral, a biography and a list of gifts she wants to buy. She has terminal stomach cancer and hasn't got long to go and he had spent the weekend with her carefully documenting all her requests. She is buying gifts for her two sons' 16th, 18th, and 21st birthdays and their weddings. Her husband will give them to them when these milestones come around because she won't be here.

So I put on UM on my way home from work. Of course I got to IPASOYC and I am blubbering and trying to drive through tears. And then comes ADIS and it's full of hope and new things and I felt better. And then SOAD sends you back out there with your dukes up.

Jaysus. Thanks heavens for Sir Joseph. He never leaves a song on a negative note, there's always a positive overtone. Clever track order too.

Wow! That's all I can say. I think for me Can't Go Back is the one...

Hope all are enjoying the beautiful notes.

I got it on iTunes so today UM dominates! I love Three Sheets To The Wind, it's that crazy song Joe drops in to make us laugh or smile at the silliness. Good on you Joe, this one is a winner. Now please tour Australia honey.

^ +1 for the bit in bold \m/^_^\m/ Joe please bring the UM tour to OZ!

This album is a "grower" to be sure! I mean sure, I liked it on first listen but holy guacamole! The more you listen the more it gets under your skin! Now I'm completely head-over-heels about it. My only real "complaint" is that 45min. feels VERY short for an "album" for me. I guess that it is just Sofa King good that I want MORE! LOL!

There had better be some Canajun dates on the tour.. the line up for the touring band is beyond epic. This tour WILL be the mightiest incarnation of a Joe band that anyone has EVER seen. Mark my words.

I have not stopped listening to the whole album on 'repeat all' since Friday.. and it just keeps on getting better and better to my mind. Thanks Joe!

I guess Joe is being interviewed right now on 107.7 The Bone....he put up a link on his facebook page...but it didn't work for me. Maybe someone else can listen.

Thanks Hangman, that DOES work...I just now saw your link to catch the last little bit with Joe and Jumpin' In. Maybe there will be a repeat somewhere? If so and anyone knows about it, maybe you can throw up the link?
