lancraft, sure, I'll take you up on that CD for Friday. Thank you.

Their best ever? That's saying a lot considering they have some great, older albums, including The Warning and Operation Mindcrime 1. Hope you're right. The last two albums were pretty bad.

Here's a review a buddy emailed me the other day.

I have now listened to the Ryche CD 3 times. Below is my review. I still
think it requires another listen or 2.

Tates vocals are strong. The guitar work is good, but definitely doesn't
have the Degarmo sound to it. Something is missing. Rockenfield and
Jackson sound great. Some of the mixes and temp changes are a little odd.
The album has some strong songs and some mediocre songs. Definitely a much
better piece of work when compared to the last 3 or 4 albums they have put
out. If you compare it to Mindcrime 1, there is no comparison. This album
doesn't even come close to the original. When you listen to MC 1, you felt
the story in the music. I don't get that same feel with this one. All in
all its not bad, and is worth purchasing. I would give it a 7 or a 7.5 out
of 10.
