    This 2018 album shows they haven't lost their knack for hooky-heavy hard rock that wedges its way into the subconscious. The album can't be called a comeback--the group were toiling away during the 2010s, after all--but it certainly opens the door on another act in their career, one that is sonically tied to their past but feels brighter (and more relaxed) than their first chapters.

    It’s not a complete lack of experimental ventures, but a limited volume. Regardless, this latest version of the band has clearly found a style that works, and the album definitely exhibits a bold direction, even if the average STP fan would naturally like to see a higher volume of daring moments.

Jeff Gutt fits perfectly into the band, and Dean and Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz can still create stellar instrumentals! Regardless of what you get on this album, Gutt can nail the vibe excellently. I cannot wait to see them move forward, and I cannot wait to see them in concert in May! A+!… Full Review »

    Songs I like: Fare Thee Well, Three Wishes and Miles Away.
    This album could have been a huge hit if it wasnt for the pandemic.
