we've put the new Spock's Beard on the playlist here. I think it's pretty good, and I like that they've gone in a somewhat different direction (I guess out of necessity with the departure of the primary songwriter). But, I would not call it a great album, nor one of their best. It's just a little too over-produced and a little too "straight ahead" rock for me. I can see some dissention with this opinion - there's a fine line between excellent production and over production, and what I think is over-produced many might think is excellently produced. Other thoughts?
