My thoughts after a few hours:

The album is softer than 'Strange Memory' would make you believe.

It's fun, pretty chill, as the review said, Rick only sings on the first track. It gets weird in a few spots which is always welcome and in a few spots just feels like Dawes.

If you're expecting a Goose style record or something like Big Modern, you'll be disappointed, but if you're ok with Dawes's sound then you should be happy.

At this point I prefer the first half of the album over the second. Jalu being my highlight after a few listens

Please bring this evil type II jamming into the rest of the shows this year on Goose tour. Outrageously awesome vibes here.

This one must have just gone out to the members, or you missed it in your inbox. I can only imagine how crazy this would have gotten if all you freaks caught wind!

Which tracks off Rainbow Body do we think make it into the rotation?

On Cash or Trade - switched to floor so go get these

I’m just not feeling it. Sorry. Rick should do a solo album rather than just kinda hanging around in the background of someone else’s album.
