So I couldn't resist and I listened to the first 6 songs (two of which I knew already). Not the most original work they've ever done, not quite what I expected, but not bad either. Have to say I expected more after an 8 year hiatus. I don't demand them to re-invent themselves or anything, but I demand outstanding songs. From these first impressions I prefer "Stiff Upper Lip" a lot! Time will tell.
1. Rock'n'Roll Train - nothing special and a bit lame, but a grower
2. Skies On Fire - nice chorus, rest didn't catch my attention
3. Big Jack - sounds like a fun song to me, not bad, not super-great
4. Anything Goes - yeah, this is even more pop than "Moneytalks", say "nice"
5. War Machine - so far my favourite, but quite short, sounds like it could hold up with the rest of the catalogue
6. Smash n' Grab - nothing special to me, I only like the "aaahhh aaaahhh ahhhh" in the background of the chorus and the sound of the guitar when it plays this three note-melody
