Yeah, Morningrise is my favourite... I still haven't had a chance to give this a full listen, but my flatmate has been listening to it non-stop. From the songs I've heard, Burden seems to be my favourite, even if it is entirely clean. Holy ****, the shared leads in the centre (after the vocal part) are brilliant... they're just so fluid and bluesy.

And I guess I was right when I predicted Per Wiberg might have a bigger role in this - what about that 70s synth solo?
