There are definitely cooler and more seamless melts from estimated but this combo is so classic and strong that chances of you giving a shit are 0%, great to hear the tune still not speedy and there's some imaginative choices on this one in terms of rhythmic grid emphasis and chord voicings, sometimes quite open and folksy then getting into some of those more block/cluster chords creating little pockets of tension in the scope of the thing, and then also lots of just rocking out in, again, that rock star party time 78 feeling/mindset
