I want to love it too, but they just seem to keep falling flat for me. It's got it's bright spots, like albums in the past, but I've been waiting for it all to come together for a while now. I disagree with the production comments - from the moment I first heard the advance of this disc I felt it would have faired far better if he hadn't of touched it.
Agreed except with the production, of course. When I looked up who produced it, I was honestly surprised it said 'Matt Squire'. Normally I could detect his style, but it honestly doesn't really come through on this one.
Are you saying you think I only listened to the album once? Bro, I've listened to it over 30 times over a 2 week period. Who do you think you're talking to?
