The addition of guitarist Chris Shiflet to the band and the return of long time producer Gil Norton (Garbage, Maxпmo Park) seemed to have paid dividends. Shiflet’s plucking on tracks like Come alive and Stranger things have happened build into classic stadium filling choruses seamlessly. On repeated listens it may seem formulaic, with several tracks following the same course, but it works, each and every individual time.

The influence of Queen is as heavy as ever, especially on the soulful But honestly, but the Foos have never been ones to deny their love for the Brit superstars.
