So I've basically been commenting on this all over the place, but I think it's time to again. This sounds AWESOME. I really hope this next album follows through with this hard-rocking, less ballad-y sound.
The first song kind of reminds me of a heavier "The Right Stuff." The second one is awesome. I really like the kind of ominous atmosphere of it... At first I thought it was piano playing, but Steve is just playing the guitar at a higher note. Hopefully they use this song-in-progress on the album. That last one sounds like it might be a part of one of the others. If it's not though, I still like the little bit I've heard. All of these songs kind of make me think of songs that didn't make Healthy (Talk Is Cheap, Vampires, No Warning). And that's a compliment, as I think some of those songs that didn't make the cut are easily their best in years.
Merry Christmas, OLP.
