Negative Positive
Title: I'm so depressed
Review: I've been a fan of theSTART since I saw them open for Incubus back in 2001. I love everything they have done, and consider Initiation to be one of their strongest albums. I liked the fact that they tried a different, darker approach to their sound; it worked with Initiation. This album, though, is just flat out dissapointing. It sounds like one of two things happened:1. Aimee has become theSTART's equivalent of Gwen Stefani and spent too much time listening to No Doubt's Rock Steady album.2. The band wanted to try something new/different and this is the unfortunate result.I'm personally hoping that the latter is the true scenario, but I judging by the cover, I wouldn't totally dismiss the former. I sincerely hope this is a one-time fluke. I've seen them everytime they come to San Antonio/Austin (which puts me at 8 shows now), but I don't even know if I want to see them perform this stuff.
Is the review positive or negative?
