Plaintive and soulful take that gets nicely bluesy at the finish a fine example of their sound this year.

The Spectrum

Jer takes what appears to be a laid back approach here and then throws CRAZY fills all over the this one - sheesh - have never heard one like this ... can't tell if he carved a fatty at the break or just was in a good mood... the S+D that follows is toxic so maybe it was the powder.

Eyes Of The World
