Those lucky enough to receive advance NSE tracks have been kind enough to share them. I've heard the title track and Wheels. Supposedly Six-Legged Man is out there too.

I like NonStopErotik, but I honestly think it will work better in the context of the album. By itself, it didn't do much to excite me. Wheels is a different story though. It has all the energy of SVN FNGRS with the polish of TOTY - a great combination. I can't wait to hear Rabbits and Deadman's Curve in all their glory.

The album is also a semi-Catholics reunion with both Dave Philips and Eric Drew Feldman on board. All in all, NSE seems to be taking a lot of the best components of Frank's past output and bringing them together. I just hope Dave got to play his pedal steel on a few tracks.

The only issue I see is that 11 tracks seems a bit short (after being spoiled with many 15+ track albums, can you blame me?). Although I'm sure this will be remedied with some b-sides. If the past is anything to go on, the b-sides are usually up there in quality with the stuff that made the cut. Seriously, leaving off Pan American Highway, Preacher's Daughter, Virginia Reel, Serious Curious, and Donnez-Moi...I've never been able to understand it. But I digress. I pre-ordered the Japanese release of NSE already in anticipation that it will have some of the b-sides as bonus tracks (something I felt improved Petit Fours). CDJapan also says NSE gets an advanced release date of 3/24. This contradicts the April 6th release date for everywhere but the US. Not sure what to believe.
