Originally posted by John Run This is no longer a fan forum, but a critic's forum. My lord you people are hard to please!! We are all welcome to our own opinion, but god lately you people don't like anything. Don't like the songs that are leaked, don't like songs on tv, don't want the same songs that you have heard for the last year through unofficial sources to be the same as the songs on the album, don't like the title, don't like how many cities they plan to play. I think many have built this thing up to be such an event of biblical proportions that nothing will satisfy this group.
I for one am glad to be getting some new material and have the opportunity to see them again live. Some songs may be a great, a few below average, and many average, but I admire the fact they have chosen to release new material, as opposed to just whoring out the past on the road as many great bands have been doing for the last few years with a complete absence of new material.
John,
I agree! I was so excited just to get some news, and then so many of the posts here were such downers. Well, for you "Glass is half full" folks out there, please remember that they don't hand out Grammy awards for album titles! Sure it isn't what I would imagine they name the record, but really does it matter? They could have called it "Butt Nugget" and as long as there are some good songs on the record, I'll be happy!
