Full Metal Health album released on streaming services today! Heard the first 6 tracks during my commute. If you like that first Praxis album and Zillatron you oughtta like this too!

Awesome! Will need to check that out. Have you heard of any plans of any physical release?

I was just googling to see if it was on Bandcamp at least. Haven’t found anything so far.

It looks like there are limited cds being given out with a meet and greet this weekend in Middletown Ohio. It costs $100 for the meet and greet that includes the CD. It’s on his website Meet and greet

Wish I could afford it but that on top of the ticket for Palefest would be a little too much for my wallet right now.

I also just read Patti say that they are teaming up with RocNation to release the album so hopefully that means physical copies more widely available at some point. RocNation put out Album of the Year last year on vinyl and cd so fingers crossed!

I’ve listened to it a few times at work today. I’m digging it!

I listened to it on Spotify yesterday. If you like Praxis, you’ll like this album.

It does have a nice tribute to Bernie.

The Lord of the Harvest album just does not get enough shine, if ya ask me. It’s an at times shocking sonic assault. So far removed aurally from so many of the solo Bootsy albums (from what I have heard)!

I had been fiending for another Zillatron album so much so that one time I met Bootsy I told him. So, this should be right up my alleyway.

I’m very happy we got this album! Definitely scratching that Zillatron/Praxis itch! The funk definitely saved me and helped guide me in my youth. Opened me up to so many different ways of thinking. I could always throw on PFunk and smile no matter what was going on. I think it is great that Bootsy is being so open about his recovery on this album.

Damn, this sounds like one CD I’m never gonna get my hands on…

Dang, that’s right!! Like Bootsy sang on The Power of the One: “I lost my mother and my brother… the pain just never goes away.” Mental prayers going out to Bootsy here!

I think this is my favorite Bootsy album since 2000, at least.
