After two weeks of listening to the album, I'm really liking it. Lots of variety, no skipping tracks, no complaints! Really dig the OG songs.

I can see, buddy, but with me it has been quite the opposite...maybe the very low expectations I had have paid off, or maybe my 8yo son humming "Rock n roll" all day has put me in the right mood, I don’t really know.

What I feel is that DS is the quintessential AC album. I could even past through the covers: ok, I now get it, Alice loves covering songs and as long as it isn't ‘Heroes’ count me in! Compared to the previous Paranormal, which was indeed a ‘fun’ and enjoyable album, but with no specific direction, DS have two major plus: a stellar production, and a mind-blowing drummer that elevates the songs and gives them urgency. Even more, it has an objective: to celebrate Detroit and once you get the concept, you are in for a great ride.

When you get to the end with Seger cover, you begin to understand what a journey this has been and realize you were in for something really special. Thanks Alice for still delivering such joy and entertainement. We fans are truly blessed

I play it almost everyday and it is getting better and better . Apparently I have the version of Rock'nRoll by Lou Reed in my possession somewhere but it didn't stand out to me as this one( no bad words on Lou Reed however !!). And indeed the drumming here makes it even more special. Well done !
I had my fears, being satisfied by Paranormal, that this cd might be a let down, but fortunately I was wrong !
