Nothing stand out for me just yet... hoping Vol2 has something for us old folks. If this is the direction of the new album, I can't say I hate it like I did Healthy (minus A/L/S)... but it is BORING! Anyone know if Tales is going to make this album or in classic OLP fashion is anything that sounds like the old days being locked up in the vault?
And before the cheerleaders get offended, if you are going to tell me this album isn't boring we can agree to disagree. The first four albums weren't boring, in fact on release the fan base was ecstatic, we got to see the band reborn in a new style while retaining the best of the old. Since Gravity every album has felt like nothing more than going through the motions with the odd stand-out track.
This band had a chance to come back the Godzilla monster they were supposed to be when they did the "An Evening With..." shows. After that, though they fell back into old habits. I wish the Naveed anniversary tour had gone through before Jer left, the band deserved a stronger send off than this.
