"I can see how someone could find it an upbeat record at first glance" says John Cobbett, guitarist and producer of the band, also of underground metal legends Ludicra and Slough Feg. "If you listen carefully, you'll find that each song has its own point of view. You might find hope, or something very different, very dark." 17th Street track listing: 1. 317 2. 17th Street 3. The Grain 4. Staring (The 31st Floor) 5. The Day the City Died 6. Romance Valley 7. Summer Tears 8. Grey Wednesday 9.

| ________________________________ [Mar 8,2012 10:34pm - Mark_R ""] ^ that one and the one that followed it (being their first 2 albums) are masterpieces of the last decade. After that it gets spotty depending on who you ask. I'm one of those who actually does like the pair of albums from 2008, but 17th Street is a massive step up any way you slice it. |
