I like the album. It's next to the Slash Album the one where I listen the most to.

I STILL don't have my copy, which I pre-ordered direct from Mascot Records. Some people get it before actual release date yet here we are a week after and I'm still waiting. What's the point in pre-ordering?

I am enjoying the new CD a lot. It is very worthy of it's shakespearian title anyway!
I know he is getting great reviews & the album sales are very good, but it amazes me how Luke does not enjoy better commercial success as a solo artist. It's not like his music is too subversive or lacks broad appeal. It has to be a stigma thing don't you think??
You can't blame age, yes Luke is in his 50's now, but hey, Cliff Richard has a number 3 album at the moment here in the UK, and he's in his 70's right?
Well, anyway, if Luke keeps putting out stuff like this, that's fantastic. It is really hard to be creative & original these days.

ditto and I'm sure we can't expect anything soon with those bloody strikes in France
Mais qui est en greve chez La Poste? I'm getting all my normal post, no problems or delays.
Craig, don't put Cliff Richard and Luke in the same paragraph, good God, man! Cliff traumatised our childhoods in the 70's and 80's. I don't need bloody reminding!

Er, Really sorry about that,
you are quite right. I don't bear a grudge against Hank B though, he was cool.

Aarghh! Tout est bein qui finit bien pour toi, eh? Espece de...!
Enjoy it my friend, I know what it feels like to wait for it!

Hank Marvin had his pretty darn cool moments alright. Nothin' really against "Sir Cliff" either, he just took cheese and uncool to a new level for me. If it wasn't for never ending repeats of Willie Wonka and Indiana Jones, ol' Cliffy could have taken British and Irish Christmas all to himself!
Finger crossed that in the morning, I can really say "All's well that end's well".

wow just wow after a couple of listening, I think it's the most personal record Lucious did.
Sorry to discover all what Luke has been through recently
"on my way home" is indeed a nice follow up to "stab in the back" very nice tribute to Steely Dan again
You guys need to give the record a try

Just arrived the other day.....man, a very personal album. And harmonically avoiding the obvious, as Lucious states in the liner notes

I have my copy now and it's definitely Luke's best by far. The songs are very strong, the tones are mind blowing and the production is very good. I hear Steely Dan meets rock

And I still have nothing and no news from Mascot Records. Is there a bawling crying smiley somewhere?
