Having never really gotten into The Hold Steady as much as I know I should do, the imminent release of their new album Heaven Is Whenever seems like the perfect opportunity to rectify the situation. Due May 3rd, a couple of the tracks are already available to listen to. Despite suggestions that the album might showcase a different kind of sound, on the evidence of "Hurricane J" and "Rock Problems" they're very much doing what they do best - peerless anthemic rock with lyrics that have an air of the torch song about them, as well as several fantastic turns of phrase. Which isn't cause for complaint in any way. seeing as how they do it so well.
