To those who don't need a physical copy yet want to support a great band; get it! I thought this was a favorable change in style and though I enjoy all their work, Here And Now is much more memorable.

hated this album.

Such a good album, the change suited them.

This is one the strongest records to come out this year. Quite phenomenal. Steve Evetts did such a good job too.

As someone who has followed this band for a while now and also seen them live a few times, I personally don't see the crazy-change-in-style that you all speak of. To me the band has remained the same, just different. Does that make sense?

if this is "phenomenal"... have you heard their old stuff ?

same, it sounded like they wanted to appeal to the scene kids.

Such a disappointing album, the song writing is just weak in comparison to their old stuff.

This.

The guitar work turned me on to them initially. I felt like it lacked on this album, unlike Hollow Crown which blew my balls away with the very first track. On top of that the melodies and choruses on The Here and Now just sounded so.. boring. I dig his singing a lot but it just didn't cut it for me on this one.

I have Hollow Crown as well. I like that record, I think it's good, but nowhere near what The Here and Now puts forth.

His voice made me not be able to get into as much, but I got used to it the more I listened. Still cannot enjoy as much as the other albums.
