A month on from its release and I’ve only just taken the CD off heavy rotation in the car. Largely the impressions I formed in the first week are unchanged and if anything this album has improved as it settles into my consciousness. I have found myself hitting the skip button occasionally on Stormy May Day and frequently on Money Made but this is probably going to be my album of the year and deservedly so. It is disappointing that the band seem to have included just two songs from such a strong album into their live set – perhaps they don’t hold Black Ice in the same high regard as I do. Anyway the next Black Ice Project update will be in January - three months after release. Perhaps by that time they will have noted the ecstatic reaction Black Ice has received from the majority of listeners and will add a few more tracks into the show.
