you can hear the whole album on their myspace. so far i've listened to the first 4 songs and i'm not impressed at all. it's sounds like these songs were written in less than a day. pretty boring and uninspired stuff.
perhaps it will grow on me...
eric waving his arms around when they screwed up the beginning of souls way pretty funny.
i liked the audience participation part in trial by fire. that was new.
alex played some really excellent solos, i thought.
i just don't see the point of paying money for 'exclusive' stuff, and to find out news a little sooner than everyone else.
and what's the point of another separate messageboard?
i checked out james murphy's solo CDs and was not too impressed. his actual playing is really awesome but the arrangements and songs were pretty weak. i liked the ones chuck sang on though.
anyone else heard them?
