Good news for sure.
It'll be interesting to see how they've fleshed out "After The Scene Dies"; its been kicking around for a while (at least back to The Dirt Underneath tour)
Not a fan. I think this and The Opening Act are Patterson's attempt to put a Dylan/Springsteen story song spin on shit like Bob Jovi's Dead or Alive -- road weary, battle tested, etc....but sometimes (and I mean like 40% of the time) he bricks at this shit. These songs both qualify.

Patterson Hood is quoted in the press release describing the album as “very melodic and more rocking than anything we’ve done since disc 2 of Southern Rock Opera.”
I hope ol' Pat Hood isn't just yanking us there, like he did while describing his solo album as power pop. Because it's about time the DBTs got out of the turgid, mid-tempo rut they've been in since
Decoration Day.
<--- Possibly excited.
Since Dirty South? Sure.
