Best album this year 🤷‍♂️

For my personal taste it’s between Darkfighter and Foo Fighter’s "But Here We Are". I was not expecting FF’s album to be good nonetheless amazing. With Rival Sons I never question the quality of their albums.

Agreed. And I love the Foos record too.

This album is a lean, mean, rocking machine! Phenomenal performances by everyone involved, as usual. Best rock band going right now 🤘

Mans got some serious voice on him, Incredible music

Just saw them in NYC....needless to say they were Godly, I will never miss another Rival Sons ny performance.

Love the album. Been spinning every day since it dropped. Been a fan since 2013, this is their best so far. This band keeps getting better, which is staggering!

Real musicianship right here, in the midst of musical chaos of 21st century

Horses breath is my absolute favourite, the intro is sending me ❤

Just a great album. Beginning to end. Relatable and introspective. Just finished a late night walk under the stars listening to it, and I just connect to ever track. It’s a perfect album for me.

Album of the year. Band of the decade.

My first contact with this band was in Paris in 2011 , i dont really understand what is happening at this moment, a guy came to the scene and sang ....we are in 2023 , darkfighter is here right front of me , what a long journey with this band Rival Sons was .thanks for all ,continu to keep them alive 🤘🤘🤘🤘😉😉😉

Amazing album Darkfighter saw them last night in Detroit great concert, now ready for Lightbringer

This album, together with "Lightbringer", is the best thing I've heard for years. Might even be the best thing(s) I've heard since the beginning of the century (not even kidding). Hearing the stories behind the song, I understand the emotional depth of it all. I was fortunate enough to enjoy all of this live in Lyon (France) yesterday evening. So grateful for that !

What a cool thing to have a glimpse inside the genius of this gorgeous album! Thank you, Jay! xo

The best Rival Sons record in my humble opinion.

​@@deepzepp4176yes it is. Shut up.

Just discovered this band this year loving the new record and their back catalogue

Saw them 8-9-2023 in Irvine CA, opening act for Smashing Pumpkins, along with Stone Temple Pilots. Rival Sons are f-ing outstanding! Never heard of them until last night and they were dammmnnn good. I liked them much more than STP. I will be checking them out. Front man is no-joke, solid, pipes for days. He can belt out some great vocals. Drummer has ridiculous chops! I saw the drummer in the parking lot getting a ticket for going 200mph in a 70mph zone he driving so hard and fast. Guitars were outstanding, just a great band.

So wild... Love to know about my favorite artists... The really strange part is that I've always wanted to work at a funeral home myself. Not necessarily burying someone but just in the funeral home to be there for people that have lost their loved ones. I think it's an amazing thing that Jay worked at a mortuary/ funeral home. Then he decides... Let me bless the world with one of his many talents and gifts. What a true Blessing, indeed.

I'm in love with this album and love the breakdown. But the way this is shot looks like an episode of Between Two Ferns 😭

Absolutely love this band for a few years, and absolutely love this album. First time I heard Guillotine I had replay it several times on repeat and loud! Completely blown away by the lyrics and all the moods within that song. I am soooo looking forward to seeing these guys live next month!!! Opening for Smashing who I also like but purchased the tickets to finally see Rival Sons live!

Could this be classed as a concept album ? From despair to redemption

He is so zen, I'm so hooked on RS. I love this album.

Great Album. Still on rotation ….

Got my tickets for the Dec.9 show in Halifax, and I am stoked!! Paul Rodgers is my favorite singer, and this has a Bad Company style vocal that kicks some serious ass!! ❤You guys!

and DARKSIDE is the song of the decade...

Love this album, bird in the hand my fav song off the record

Amazing album, very complex in sound & lyrics. Totally love that it’s different to their other albums and that’s a real style for a real artist. Another canvas painting, they never repeat the same. Not many bands do that, and that is why I’m totally into this band. Rival Sons🔥

Just saw them a few months ago. They are so underrated.

Bought 4 of your new CDs! One for my son, 2 for friends and 1 for myself! My small way to support you guys!

The man has always struck me as supremely authentic. Perhaps the only "celebrity" that I wouldn't end up disappointed getting to know. I always find myself hanging on his every word-both musically expressed and spoken. Godspeed, Jay.

@@isaacburdiss That's great to hear. I'm envious! At 56 yo, I've seen some incredible bands live in concert in my time. Met just a very few. This is my only remaining "bucket-list" band, and have held that distinction for a few years.

The inspirational lead singer of the best rock & roll band on the planet.

so much talent in one band

guys, this record it's really a masterpiece, with songs inspired and magnetic!

I first heard RS on 97.7 hitzFM in st. kitts Ont. thats going back a while, the 00's anyway. they always spinned them regularly, still do. anyway thats where I first heard them, and liked ever since. solid writing vocals and, just all around good music.

Best album I've heard in years. Saw you guys in Montreal.. just super!

Since the album was released, I've listened to it about a million times. Now I'm going through a difficult period, and these songs have become an outlet for me. I hope to get to your concert again. Thank you for your creativity and thank you for BELIEVING IN ROCK-AND-ROLL!!!

Phenomenal album.

A loyal Rival Sons fan for the past 12 years...Hands down the best rock n roll band. Darkfighter is a masterpiece...Mature meaningful lyrics...I relate big time.

This album is a real deal, very emotional and tasty sounding! Congratulations with another masterpiece guys! 👏

The cold skeleton fingers of the opiate crisis has scarily touched a lot of us. I lost an older brother that knew better than to wrestle the Reaper! Take care of yourselves everyone!!

Rival Sons are the real deal. Their here to kick our asses and leave us begging for more. I just started listening to their new album yesterday and I can't stop. If anybody has forgotten what real rock and roll music is and what it should sound like and what it should make you feel, just listen to the Rival Sons.

Thank you for honest stories. Im impressed how your songs got those stories. Keep on strumming, I do the same daily. We here norhern Finland are waiting to see Rival Sons in Sweden or Finland in the future. We couldnt get to those gigs in Tampere & Helsinki. Looking forward to see ”the band of real music”.

Interesting to hear that so much emotion and personal experience made its way into this album. You can really tell listening to it that these songs weighed a lot. Best wishes to your friend Jay, I hope he can get the help he needs and rise above it all.

A nearly 65 yo man should not be so ensconced with your music, Jay., but it just speaks to me. All of it from the very first album.

loving the new album! thank u gentlemen!

Love that did your version of, 'Between The Ferns'! Love the album, too!

Thank you for the insight into this amazing album!

Album is absolutely phenomonal. The arrangement has leveled up. Its been on repeat. The vocals are soulful yet timed perfectly. One of the best rock albums ever made. Wish there were more tracks.

Ready for Lightbringer Track by Track!

8 songs, 8 singles

Album of the Year... Album of the decade

KICK ASS RECORD, DUDE!

Deeply respect your introspection. Some of us see and write songs about it. Most are unable. Rock on and tell it like it is.

Really enjoyed this. Jay, you're such an unusually great singer, could you consider doing a video on; singing in general and your approach to singing in the studio, live, and the technique and rigors of such? Thank you.

Such an emotional intellect

Thank you Jay. Helps so much to hear the inspiration of these songs that rock my life. See you in KC

Thanks Jay, this gave me alot to think about as I'm trying to start my own band. Especially with my struggle of wondering if what I put out is good enough. My goal is clear. I'm going to finish an album buy the end of the year.

Thx for explaining each track for all the new songs. I have been listening to you guys since your first album. Love your music some of the songs and lyrics is like old school 60's and it's very relatable to society and to my life. Keep up the good work. Blessings to you and the band. 😊☮💜💫✝️🙏🏾♋🦋😇👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯

Thanks for the insight. You made an all time great Rock and Roll album

got the vinyl, can’t wait to see y’all again in Harrisburg!

I think this album is the most honest album I've ever heard.

Please do the same Track by Track for Lightbringer !

Why does this video remind me of a cooler Zach Galifianakis hosting Between Two Ferns?

Another great release. Can't wait for "LIghtbringer". I was going to list my five favorite songs but since there's eight, I figured why not do them all... 1. Nobody Wants to Die 2. Bright Light 3. Bird in the Hand 4. Horses Breath 5. Darkside 6. Guillotine 7. Rapture 8. Mirrors

Saw them last night it was a great show few tech problems with Scott guitar didn’t know the show would continue, like 20 minute delay very first song, but they fixed it actually Jay came out after 20 minutes with acoustic guitar and played shooting star and then few minutes later they restart Mirrors. Really good show go see them if you can or maybe you have recently.

Oh thank God somebody said what I was thinking🤦‍♂️ Perhaps Darkfighter will grow on me… but Feral Roots hit me in between the eyes the very first time I’d heard the band and has been on constant play ever since. If Darkfighter has done anything for me is to take me to back to FR and reinforce what a masterpiece it is. I just can’t hear the songs, the musicianship, the production… none of it here compared to FR.
