Title: the worst album since Dan joined the band
Product review: Zao was probably one of the most unfocused bands out there today. Their purpose and direction have been all over the place. So to attempt to bring the band into focus they made this concept album. While the concept may be cool enough, the music is another story. In their own words the change was supposed to be about the music, but I hear no evidence of this. I found the album to be dispassionate and uninteresting. It just lacks that same gritty groove that I found appealing. I tried to give it a chance, but I just couldn't get into it. After about 10 listens I deleted it out of my mp3 player. This is nowhere in the same league as "Parade of Chaos" or "Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest." While I'm sure they thought this new direction would bring them a wider audience base, that audience doesn't include me. Whatever you're doing to try to focus your direction, please stop it Zao.
