"Gravity" opens the album with a snarky alt. rocker that sounds like it could have come from Grave Dancers Union. The band sound as good as they did back in their '90's heyday. There is more than enough excellent rock music on Delayed Reaction with some of the highlights being "Into The Light", "Pipe Dream", "The Juice" and "Let's All Kill Each Other". As this album doesn't eclipse the absolute greatness of Grave Diggers Union or the stellar Let Your Dim Light Shine it can ride along side those discs and not have too much trouble keeping up.
One listen to "The Streets" is just not enough and I'm fairly sure all the fans of the band will be have a mad love affair with this song. Dave Pirner has proven that the band isn't out of good ideas and still have enough in the tank to add to their legacy. As I mentioned some of the songs earlier you just have to listen to the album and find out for yourself how good it is. I'm a self confessed fanboi of Soul Asylum who are my second favorite new band of the '90's just a hair behind Green Day and a hair ahead of Collective Soul. This album is a great addition to my Soul Asylum CD collection and if you are a fan will be for yours too.
