Agreed. In reality, it is his FIRST in years! Last "real" album of new material was 1995's "The Individualist". As Josh knows, reviews on the main TR Yahoo group have been generally favourable. Some negative comments about overuse of the drum machine vs real drums. Tour coming starting April 8th with a kick-ass band: Kasim Sulton - bass Jesse Gress - guitar John Ferenzik - keyboards Prairie Prince - drums http://trconnection.com/tour/t2004 --- Josh Chasin wrote: > Yes.
