Not the Hoodoo I remember. Of course it's been 25 years since Mars Needs Guitars blew me away. Have a few others, but always thought Mars was the best. Didn't expect to have flashbacks or anything, but with only 3 tracks I liked out of 16, that's not a very high average. With 6 years since the last release, which I never heard, and an 8 year layoff prior to that, that's a 16 year drought for me. I'm a math whiz. The guys can still rock out, but it just didn't hit me the same. The album is getting good reviews though, so once again, I guess I'm out of touch in my mellowing out years.
