The New Direction

I was listening to "Wipe That Smile..." and Walking In Circles", and I got to thinking about how this stuff compares to other OLP works. In my opinion, it's cooler than Gravity-era stuff, so I'm pro-sixth album. Plus I thought "Wipe..." was really cool, even though I'm pro-Bush (U.S.A. woo-hoo!) I could totally see myself digging a politically motivated OLP CD.

What does everyone else think about the 'new' direction the band is taking?

It could be better... but then again, it could be a whole heck of a lot worse. I think album 6 is basically a wait-and-see kind of thing. I guess I gotta hear a few more songs before I give it a yay or a nay.

I'll be buying the album no matter what, but I like Not Afraid and Wipe That Smile of Your Face a lot. I'm trying to not judge too much in advance though, til I hear the actual studio recordings and some more songs.

I think this album will be better than Gravity but we will have to wait and see.

The guitar solos are kinda cheesy if you ask me. I mean yeah they fit the song but they're nothing real great. They're diffinitly not as good as the ones from "Bring Back The Sun" and "Not Enough"

Also we should be carefull to jump the gun and rate these songs. I mean I really didn't care for the live versions of "Our Time Is Fading" untill I heard the one from their Live album. That version was a million times better than the other ones I'd heard. I just like the guitar riff steve plays during the Chorus I think it adds a whole new demention to the song, and in the version on the HUB you can bearly even hear that guitar part in it.

Not Enough solo is fun.

I find the WTSOYF solo to be better than the Bring Back the Sun one.......when comparing live versions to each other. The one off the album is a little unfair to compare it to because the quality is so much better.

Well... personally, I love the new songs. I loved them on the boots I downloaded, and even more live. So, I can't wait for album #6! Bring it on!!! :mrgreen:

I usually don't like music that is too political. It can get too serious for me. But with some bands, if it's done well...it's totally fin...mmmmm :drool:
