SiT1 was a 4 star effort, and I have yet to hear the Sane Day (it's a double album?)

I dont want to hear the new song they have, I will wait until the album is released.

For me, liking an album is only a 2 or 3 star affair, depending how much I like it.

And a very interesting, but good, one at that.  I was lucky enough to find a basically-new copy of this at Amoeba in LA, and this being my first Beardfish album, I was instantly hooked on this band.

I don't have a problem with it, per se, I like it well enough ... I just like the other albums I've heard from them better.

Mammoth is too regular. Also, I wish they'd go back to the more modern production from SIT2

Seconded. To me "The Sane Day" is by far their best album. Subsequent albums are but mere second-rate copies of it. IMO of course!

Seems like they're going down the heavier road they started down on mammoth. Not that I mind - music sounds good so far (based on a singles YouTube video of an audience recording listened via iPhone speakers). Might not live up to Destined Solitaire, but then again, Yes never did anything as good as Relayer afterwards but that didn't stop them from making more great records.

NOOOOO, i didn't like it too much! They need to go back to their quirky, and ECLECTIC roots. 

Still think Destined Solitaire is their best album, and one of the best albums of the millennium.

Have to agree. In Destined Solitaire, I always get the impression that music is trying to contain Beardfish, but it can't. You know what I mean?

That reminds me of Bedlam by TMV or Killing Technology by Voivod.

Destined Solitaire was a little too all over the place. I was really disappointed. Haven't heard Mammoth yet, it's not on Spotify :/

Mammoth was great, but it didn't top their masterpiece, Destined Solitaire.

Solitaire, to me, is much more interesting and varied. Plus the artwork is miles past Mammoth. I actually prefer the artwork in this order..
Solitaire > Sleeping in Traffic 2 > Mammoth > Sleeping in Traffic 1

Yea I like the style of their last 2 album covers, I hope they use that again on the new one.
