Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I have had this on pre-order since March and it arrived yesterday, it was well worth the wait!. These guys may be in there late 60's and 70's but their experience is evident on this album, they certainly haven't lost their Mojo. Typical DP, driving bass lines intertwined with swirling keyboards, lovely guitar breaks, and good lyrics. IMO has a feel of some their earlier stuff, I'm thinking Fireball, some Machine Head and Who Do We Think We Are.
Great stuff, if you like them this is well worth a listen.
