For those wondering about US availability, the only place I've seen Reach is on iTunes. So if you have a CD burner and what not, you can get the album from there. I'm not sure if they fixed this or not, but Give Me the Word had to bad skips on the 1:04 and 1:05 mark.
The album was okay, but Jimi's vocals do sound alot rougher, probably giving to the fact that when I saw him here in Reno a couple years ago, he wasn't doing his voice any favors which a couple of the screeching vocals he did. When he sang normal at the time, he sounds awesome, but again, he does these flourishes where he pitches his voice high and loud and the way his voice sounded when he did that, it just didn't sound good on his vocal chords. I can't help but wonder if that wear and tear is starting to show through some on this album.
