Title: Not up to par at all
Product review: Far be it for me to criticize musical creativity. If this is where the band wants to go, OK. However, what I enjoyed from the first 3 albums was tremendous creative guitar playing, creative poetry and outstanding singing (especially the harmonies). The new album still has good lyrics, but the formula musical mix and much heavier distortion drowns out the musicality. What's with the voice? Did Matt get replaced with a grungie? This may be part of getting a deal with Sony, but is not a memorable album by any means. Glad I have the first 3 albums. They get played all the time. Just hope the next one is a bit more accoustic and memorable.
