Will be included in my order this weekend.

Got this tonight and gave it a first spin. It's good, and I'll need to give it more spins because it may be AdC's most intricate album yet. My first impression though, is that it really needed another track, it's too short at 37-ish minutes. We'll see how it develops with more listens.

Placing an order for this now on Amazon. I've gotten so used to buying MP3's, but will have to go the disc route for this.

Second spin tonight, I gave it closer attention. Definitely grew on me. Track one is a little scattered and seems like sort of a collection of riffs that don't gel into a real song. I'll have to let this one settle a bit more. But tracks two - four are absolutely killer, particularly track two, Dandelion. This is definitely AdC's most intricately composed album, which is interesting given the "live" recording approach. The album sounds fantastic, very warm, everything clear and present in the mix.

I still say the album could have been longer, but rather than another track, I think a couple of pieces could have been extended a bit. They could have riffed on the end of Dandelion for longer, for example. But, quibbles aside, I think this will be one I will enjoy long term and return to as frequently as the first two.

Nice. Drool.

By the way, it's now at Progstreaming: http://www.progstreaming.com/_wb/pag...rari%20-%20AdC

I wish it would receive just as much 'likes' as the new Saga (almost 300).

Bump (it's really good, this album).

The best Italian album since Deus Ex Machina's "Cinque", hands down. Deus Ex Machina, DFA, and AdC---the best of the last 20 years.

The fact that AdC was recorded in 3 days and sounds so fantastic is testament to the musical proficiency of Cristian, Marco, Daniele, and that other guy...the long-haired composer...keyboard player......Giovanni!! Just a brilliant, brilliant album. And Udi has done his best work here also, imo.

PS..."Dandelion" is the coolest song, ever.

Just received this in the mail, will spin it soon. Didn't realize how short this is, but if it's the same quality level, I wont complain.

Not the same quality level. Higher.

Got mine the other day, and have given it one spin. Track 6 seemed especially, beautiful, the rest really good. Need more time with it, for sure.

WAAYYYY too early for me to give it the nod over their second album, which to me is absoluty killer.

Ditto for me. That second one is hard to top IMO. I've only listened to the new one twice but it's going to have to really surprise and impress me in the coming listens for me to say it's better than the second. (Not to imply this one is bad ofcourse!)
