    Wolverine - "Machina Viva"

    Anyone who saw Wolverine in 2013, especially the acoustic set (as I did), will understand why this is such an anticipated album for me. I can foresee this being very high in my top lists.

    Somehow I didn't think they'd stay dead. Enough people loved Opus Arise for that to happen. I didn't meet a single person at PPUSA who didn't wish Lost in Thought were still around. And I know I would meet quite a few people who want them on the stage. Because they have a new song right here...
