Your blog really makes me want to check out the new Orange Goblin album. I saw them live on the tour for the last one though, and while it was fun it didn’t make me want to get any albums.

Thanks man! I haven’t heard it yet myself! Tom and I are probably going to do lists of albums we wish we heard in 2014.

That’s a neat idea. There’s loads I wish I’d got, but was too poor/cheapskate to try at full price.
I’m very much a “buy 10 old albums, it costs the same as 2 new ones” person at the minute.

I haven’t got the new Orange Goblin myself, but yes, it appears that this is one of the album of 2014 that is an absolute must. I’m sure I’ll be hearing lots of it at Sausagefest this summer.

Just checked em out a bit. Not quite in my wheelhouse these days, but I like what I’m hearing so far. The drummer has some serious mojo.
