…and it is rather average. Gone is the modern heavy rock spin on Van Halen and ZZ Top replaced with the tedium of Led Zeppelin. Sure they still have goofy song titles but the excitement and fun is lost with a mid-paced yawn inducing lack of hooks.
Here is a taste. Don’t worry the mastering doesn’t help it.

Here it is in all it’s glory. Yngwie J. Malmsteen losing his shit on an airplane. If your work frowns on swearing, headphones will be required.
Here is the back story from Blabbermouth.
One of Milwaukee’s most loved bands have returned. This time they toned down the Who influence filtered through 90’s alt rock/post punk/aggro for more of a general 60’s rock filtered through the same 90’s lens. At first listen, this is my favorite album of theirs.
