When I heard the title, I heard the title I had an ominous feeling that it might be Leonard's "Blackstar", but I see that "You Want it Darker" is the name of the opening track.

Seems all you have to do around here is ask and you will receive Jarkko's new "P" word and has come to fruition quicker than I thought!

Interesting that the new album was produced by Adam.
And I’ll bet that Alex plays his violin on it especially taking note of the last song.
I reckon those lucky ones in Amsterdam will get to hear the album - good for them!
