thnx for that. Rather Ripped is a back 2 basics album in terms of production and song writing. It sometimes has a pop-ish attitude but it always remains a sincere r'n'r album. Played live(Le Mouv)in France sounded closer to the overall sonik noise esthetics. it is definatelly a "special" allbum and a proof that the soniks can still write uplifting tunes with soul. I already have my favs and cant wait to buy it
