    Godsticks - The Envisage Conundrum

    Has anyone picked up this masterpiece? Can't stop playing this album. My God, these guys can play. Will def. pick up their previous albums.

    Here's a clip:

    I totally want someone to release an album entitled The Corundum Conundrum.

    I haven’t heard their previous album in its entirety, but what I did hear was promising and the glowing reviews intrigue me more. I’ll be keeping an eye/ear out for this one.

    Import CDs (I just ordered it along with English Electric Pt.2/BB Train & the new Thieves' Kitchen).

    Ah, three more Godsticks-fans. It will be on Progstreaming this weekend. That makes this thread under suspicion of self-promotion, but people here know I hardly make a thread about a new album I also stream. That's not deliberate. It's just the fact that, lately, 80% of new released progrock bores me

    Yet these guys bring something new to the table!

    This is a terrific record. Very good songwriting, and beautifully executed. Have played it at least twenty times since it came out.

    It's at Progstreaming right now, and it will surely become on of my 2013 top 10 albums: http://www.progstreaming.com/_wb/pag...sage Conundrum.

    I hope everyone in the UK and Europe who is aware of the superbness of Godsticks will come see them opening for my band on the tour we're doing later this month and early next! They're surely one of the best bands in operation right now and it will be a privelege to share a stage with them.

    I haven't heard this yet, but absolutely love Spiral Vendetta and the previous EP was worth picking up too. I will definitely try and get along to the gig when they hit London if I can.

    So good to hear some positive words about the new one, and I will make sure I get a copy this week. So many great new albums to assimilate, and the three on Geezers list above are all on mine too!

    Am I right in thinking that the lead guitarist of this band lent Bruce Soord of The Pineapple Thief his guitars so that they could be used on the All the Wars album ?

    I dig Spiral Vendetta & their EP, so the new one is on my 'to buy' list.

    I had a spare $4.85 left over on my E-Music account and when I saw I could get the debut? Godsticks album for less,but not much less,I jumped on it. What great timing to have this one so close in my experience of their sound. I really like what I'm hearing on the one I bought,so I would imagine I'll go for this new one no-brainer mode.

    IIRC, the drummer & bassist are also now in Magenta. Is that right?

    If that IS right, then, "great choices, Rob!"

    The drummer and bassist are indeed also in Magenta.... but the drummer, Steve, is also in an Emerson, Lake and Palmer tribute with myself. We're called Noddy's Puncture... and we have an album out with Keith Emerson actually guesting with us...!

    Cheers,
