Although I've only listened to it a few times so far, I am terribly
disappointed in the new Sloan. It is all hard rock ala AC/DC and April Wine,
there are no songs by their drummer Andrew Scott, and even jay Ferguson's
songs are hard rockers. There is one song in particular, I can't remember
the name right now but it is a Patrick Pentland song, that is just
atrocious.
I'm not just slagging the band, I've been a big fan since Smeared and their
album Twice Removed is one of my favourite Canadian records of all-time. I
really want to like the new one, but it's not happening. Not yet anyway.
I don't know if a US label has been found for the album yet either.
