We come to these boards obsessively to find any little bit or piece of information regarding the new music. All of this is a recipe for never truly having our expectations being met. I am not at all saying that the new music compares to the old stuff but I am purely pointing out why there is so much criticism around here. I am thankful that this band is doing what they are doing still and still pretty damn good job at it. Music is not supposed to be a stressful thing, it is supposed to be enjoyable. I enjoy the new songs and I am not going to sit around analyzing and criticizing each line Dave writes just to find a way to be bitter and unhappy with the music. What's the point? Rant over
Somebody give this man an award. Great post
