Title: What happened???
Product review: Two mysteries here: 1) why would this great band release such a motley collection of old riffs masquerading as a new album, and 2) why would anybody rave about it as they are here?? I had only to "sample" a few songs online before deciding I not only wouldn't buy this album, I wouldn't even care to download it for free! This formerly excellent band (who I have been a huge fan of since Day One) has been inexplicably avoiding writing a great album for 10 years now. Why they can't sit down and put together another "Gretchen goes to Nebraska", with its brilliant production, melodies and compositional grandeur is beyond me. Instead, of late, they've been releasing half-assed heavy-metal junk that pales in comparison to any of their first four, great, albums. Even Ty's latest solo album was better than most of King's X recent output. But this one is inexcusable!!
