Anyone heard any news/reviews/feedback on the gig and new songs?

Surprisingly quiet about the show on the boards. Would love to get a report. Or some recordings.

I have a feeling that the record made by the same man with the same cast is going to sound similar to the last two, but I loved them ( the last one in particular) so much that I'm excited for word.

I'm really excited for this album. We All Want The Same Things was a big step up in every way imo. Hope this takes that sound even further. I can't imagine him topping God In Chicago but I'd be up for more music in that style too |

The show was excellent. They opened with Be Honest and Maggie I’ve Been Searching for Our Son, then played the new record. Encore was God in Chicago and Trapper Ave. A crew filmed the show.
Live versus recorded caveats apply, of course, but my impression was that the new record has a similar sound to the two previous, only...bigger? I didn’t think a single song missed. Thematically, Craig said (if memory serves) that the album explores how people react to a world changing around them, with the “centerpiece” song being Grant in Galena (Ulysses S. Grant had a period post-Westpoint and Mexican-American War where he was unable to succeed in civilian life and “needed a new war”.) Hence the album title, I Need a New War.
Long story short, first impressions were completely positive and I can’t wait to pick up the new record.

Did he mention roughly when it'll be out? |

I think the release is still just a vague “spring 2019” date. Now I REALLY hope I’m remembering the album title accurately...drinks were had though, soooooo....
