I agree. Coming out of how fantastic Fortress was, I expected more from the last album. I also take aim at the lyrics; they didn't fit that style of music. They went from Genghis Khan at war with a goddess to how much it sucks to be on the road. Egh.
i'm in the same boat as most it seems. fortress is my all-time favorite album but i just couldn't get into scurrilous. i love c'est la vie though. this new album will shred i'm sure.
