Title: Fans Will Be Surprised
Product review: The problem with this album that fans will have is that Maynard never -really- stuck his blunt views in a record. In all of his other songs he kept it open to interpretation and after listening to all the TOOL and APC albums you'd think that his bands were apathetic; not trying to play off an image, just doing it for the music (Which is a good thing). In Emotive you find that image of the band ruined. After I realized that all the songs were covers and they all tried to force certain views & propaganda on its listener, I couldn't listen to it anymore. Some of the covers sound alright, most of them sound bad.The bottom line for me is that this kind of propagandistic music can work in Hip-Hop or subtly in rock...But when it's added into dark, emotional music such as TOOL or APC it gets sickening.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
