i first got this album during early spring of 2006. i had never heard of vanderslice but some friends introduced me and now i couldn't be more grateful. john is a 40 year old man who can really put on a rock show. i saw him last april at kilby court in slc. haha...i love kilby court. there were maybe 50 or 60 people there and we loved it. the album has sort of a political feel to it and some of the songs were directly influenced by 9/11 (i.e. exodus damage). my favorite tracks (these may differ from many vanderslice fans) are "dear sarah shu", "trance manual" and "exodus damage". vanderslice's album right before this one-cellar door-has some great licks as well. "cellar door" is said to be one of the most beautiful phrases in the english language (tolkien). let me know in the comments section what you think of this one and maybe i'll throw up one or two of his other albums (he had one just come out in july).
