Negative Positive
Title: Sorry, I just can't get into it......
Review: I must admit I was curious about the new Beard, having heard "Don't Try This At Home'. Since I work in a music store, I managed to get a copy in and listen to it. The first thing that became evident was that SB have become a modern rock band. What happened to Dave Meros (who could be argued to be the Generation X Chris Squire) laying down the bottom end? Most of the songs seem to be just flat-out riff-laden, instead of having any sense of groove or direction to them. SB is now a mediocre hard-rock band, and no longer a prog band. Avoid.
Is the review positive or negative?
