As an Umphrey's McGee fan, I'm still digesting last year's "Safety in Numbers" when I think about their studio albums. While SIN does have some good moments (namely Believe The Lie, Nemo and Women, Wine & Song), it fails to surpass their 2004 landmark "Anchor Drops". That said, I was surprised to find out today that Umph is already preparing to release a double album entitled "The Bottom Half". Some say its your basic odds and ends project, I say they just needed a way to pay for their fancy new light show. Whatever the reason, it hits stores on 4/3/07.
Bottom will feature one disc of tracks originally recorded during the SIN Sessions, with the second disc offering "outtakes, alternative versions of songs, a cappella recordings, and other bits from the band’s 2005 studio sessions".
Similar to SIN, the artwork comes courtesy of the legendary Storm Thorgerson. Not bad. UM makes a return to the Metro-Detroit area on 3/16/07 when the hit Clutch Cargo.
