Got my tickets for Manchester. These boys rock and seriously enjoy their time on stage. Now that makes a difference.

Re: The Temperance Movement

its only realities rat race sucks...switch on MUSIC...
nerds, geeks, freaks and vinyl junkies...are the truthful ones!

Re: The Temperance Movement

1 decent song.  Overall...not good.  Perhaps too high of expectations after the first album

Re: The Temperance Movement

Not enjoying it at all. One more coaster.

Oh it's not that bad Kenny tongue.  Actually the more I hear the more I like it but it definitely does have a different sound to their first album which is no bad thing.  Phil Campbell is a great songwriter and musician in his own right.

Re: The Temperance Movement

I'm afraid I didn't dig it. Too polished a sound...no rawness...no brutal honesty.
The production is flat, dull and incredibly lifeless...it is not a good sounding cd. I hate to say that as they are wonderful live...and such nice guys. This album fell completely flat for me and I'll only listen to the first one and my signed Pride EP...which blew me away on first hearing back in '12. Shame to see Luke go too... sad

Re: The Temperance Movement

D`oh oops I`m loving it its well wonderful even better than the debut album...

its only realities rat race sucks...switch on MUSIC...

I listened to it once through and it's good but not great.I understand your feelings on this one.It didn't grab me to play it again right away.
Usually a real good album makes me want to hear it again after the first listen.
I will listen again because sometimes the mood your in doesn't match the music too

Your rock candy baby
Your hard sweet and sticky
