As band accountant, I have set up the savings account requested by the band. Should they sell their targeted 2.5 million copies, my job is to supply them with an ongoing supply of ladies, limousines, and regular nap times.

Two reviews of the new music:

"It is the band's best offering to date, going back to the Popes! As usual, a sprinkle of humor to mix it up a bit. Highly recommended for those wild nights of all kinds."

As with their first album, this one opens with a ridiculously infectious pop-rock tune--though I'd say "You Looked Good" carries evidence of the band's maturing sense of its own sound. In fact, the first three tracks as a whole work like as bait to lure the listener in--from the first line of "You Looked Good," through the driving beat of "This is What We Want," all the way to the last note of "Black Ice" (a surprisingly philosophical track that's a crowd favorite at their shows), the album opens with a showcase of the guys' talent as seen in mostly "traditional" pop-rock tracks. 

Two later, paired tracks are as awesome as they are different: "I Saw You Walking" explodes and restrains a driving guitar line and some of the best vocals on the album, and then "I Want to Be Clean" comes along with this low-key vocal track and tight lyrics, and overall the track sounds like a child of Lou Reed (for atmospherics), Leonard Cohen (for lyrics), and the Public Good themselves spinning all of it into their distinctive sound.  Overall, great album and continued growth for one of the smartest pop-rock groups ever.
