you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

finger eleven' new album is to their previous albums what gravity is to olp's previous albums. So basically lose Lanni and suck...The exception to that rule being simple plan, I seriously don't know what he's thinking there.

it is just loud music with bad singing...there is no emotion unlike greyest of blue skies where every song sounded different.

I'm not a big fan of either TGOBS or their new one. Tip will always be one of my favorite cds because of the raw originality of it. I like their new one a bit more than TGOBS. Really just because of Last Scene, and Thousand Mile Wish

Everyone trashed TGOBS like this too, it's obvious that Tip is by FAR their best album, but it doesn't mean the band is getting gradually worse.

I think Tip in a lot of ways was just an OLP knockoff. I still really like it, but there are certainly a lot of similarities in the music. TGOBS is my favorite. Self-titled is just... no. It's for the lovers of Staind, or Nickelback, or Saliva, or Three Days Grace, or whatever else. Bad stuff for the most part. It has a few good tracks, but I give it a grade D.

Finger Eleven are amazing.
Tip is amazing.
TGOBS is amazing.
F11 is amazing.

Its a little different, but I think that seeing it live helps. I saw them play a few of the songs before the cd came out, and I think that helped. Then I;ve seen them play a lot of it live, and that helped. When I first heard One Thing I thought to myself "hmmm....this seems weak, but I have a feeling that if I hear this song live I will fall in love"

That I did.

I saw them last Friday. They hadn't been to LA in....5-7 years or something. Hahahaha, I've seen them here twice since I started school.

They just needed some motivation, and some good ole' East Coast love :love:
