I hate to say it, but I really didn't like the two new tracks they played live a few months ago. I did like that song Matador which they debuted a few years ago, so I'm still holding out hope that the album will be good. Regardless, I will be seeing them live again if they come to the northeast. I caught them in Philadelphia in 2010 and they were fantastic, and Patton was in a great mood (although it's kind of entertaining hearing testy Patton bark at Puffy "Come on, start the loving song! Now!").

I find it slightly ironic that Jim Martin hated all the "disco" poppy stuff on Angel Dust and wanted more guitar heavy poo poo, and the first album after he's gone is the only one where the guitar is the focus. I love Spruance's playing on KFAD, love the guitar tone, love most of the songs, too. Gave the new album a listen today, wasn't blown away. In fact, I really found most songs to be a chore to get through. Separation Anxiety is cool, but like most other songs here, it takes so long to go somewhere cool. Black Friday is a neat song, I liked the splatty spring reverb on the claps, and wasn't just a boring dirge like tracks 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10 ...those songs just go nowhere and do nothing for me. They're not poorly written or performed songs, they're just boring. Superhero, Separation Anxiety, Black Friday and Matador are the only things I like, but I'm willing to give this a few more proper listens. EDIT: And full disclosure, I actually really liked the latest Tomahawk album. Not as much as the first two albums, but I very much enjoy most of the songs (I attribute this more to me being a fan of Duane Denison, rather than Pattons' input on the album).
