I remember liking "Love Is War" when it was released what seems like ages ago. I'll have to check this one out soon.

I know, it does seem like forever ago "Love Is War" was at radio (released in September of 2013). Anyway, the version on this album is the radio mix. I don't know if this is the version that was on the radio when "Love Is War" was charting (perhaps someone can clue me in) but it definitely sounds more studio enhanced...it's not bad by any means, just a little more mixing. Also includes faint old school gun shot noises.

This album is a mixed bag. I really enjoy some tracks, others not so much. "God Sends A Train" is great though.
