[Scott Bails]

Wow. That's quite a lineup. I really enjoyed his last one, so this is an auto-buy

[Man In The Mountain]

Amazing line-up, and kick-ass cover art. I'll have to check this one out.

[BarryLI]

Last one was my favorite prog release from last year, I'm all over this. Gotta admit Nad spares no expense bringing in excellent musicians, no?

[JKL2000]

Looking forward to this, and the cover art is damned cool.

[Staun]

Widow was excellent, I expect no less here.

[SRS]

impressive lineup of musicians. But what no vocals (purring) from Ship's Cat Skrut?!
Thought the Widow was fantastic so will be getting this one for sure!

[aith01]

Very excited for this! Courting the Widow was one of my favorites from 2015 as well. The guy can write some killer compositions, and his singing voice ain't bad either.

[rickawakeman]

Autobuy. "Courting the Widow" is brilliant, as was Unifaun, as are Nad's Agents of Mercy collaborations with Roine.

I'll bet Skrut gets a nod somewhere in the credits.

[Ken Baird]

I've listened to "Courting the Widow" many, many times now--fantastic album!--really looking forward to the new one

Skruuuuut!

[Soc Prof]

Interesting that he is continuing a marriage related concept. But of course, brides come before widows. A prequel?

Regardless, I'm sure the music will kick ass.

[floyd umma gumma]

I will buy this as soon as it comes out. Courting the Widow is one of my favorite records of the past few years.

[SRS]

First song is up:

Sounds very fine indeed. Enjoyed 'Courting...' very much, with the 20-minute piece in the middle of the album being a real highlight.

[floyd umma gumma]

Wow - great tune. Killer bass, great keys. Can't wait to hear the rest

[Jvalvano]

Just got this album. I'm really enjoying it. Loved his previous album and I'm enjoying this one just as much. Glad to support Nad. Great album!

[JKL2000]

One thing I think a lot of people don't know about Nad is that he was writing and recording his own music before he started singing for Hackett and before Unifaun.

[Johnkil]

Another wonderful one from Nad. I received it 2 days ago and am thoroughly enjoying it.

[Guitarplyrjvb]

Go Nad! (I couldn't resist!)

[bennymania]

Go Nad! (I couldn't resist!)

*cough*

[Sean]

Shouldn't it be the Bride said "I don't!"?

[Scott Bails]

Shouldn't it be the Bride said "I don't!"?

Depends upon what you're asking her

[Progatron]

Been enjoying this the last few days since it arrived. Another solid release!

[SRS]

Been listening to this for about a week now. Agree it is wonderful. Favorite track might be "What Have You Done" The guitar solos by Hackett and Govan are out of this world!
Also really like the bonus track "Black Sheep". The production is a little slick and polished in some places - not as organic sounding as the Widow. But Nad is really developing his own sound here and it is a step forward from Widow and his work with Agents and Unifaun.
