Yeah, peirre wieburg or some shit, he officially is in the band now.
Anyway, I finally got to listening...only once through so far but it was just...eh. I can't say I'm frightfully disapointed since I didn't like the song I heard in preview anyway, but oddly enough that one ended up providing some of the few cool moments. A completely underwhelming album, no real standout track for me. The riffs are just...bland, like most of the clean vocals. The beautiful melodies are gone, and the band simply churns out stop-start riffing among some very familiar chords and chord patterns. Not a terrible album by any means, after all it wasn't offensively bad or anything, but maybe something like a 50.
Being formerly a huge fan of the band I really want this album to grab me, but as of yet it's the worst I've heard. Maybe it will impress me more with repeated listens, but it doesn't seem very likely.
