O.k. I've heard a few songs now and like everyone else I think it is boring and stale. Pick-up Kurdt's Presto Ballet instead. A fantastic album IMO. Like Wyvern said he still has a lot to offer but its time to put MC to rest and move on.
I am scared of the new Metal Church now. I thought "Weight of the World" was decent, but gave promise of what was to come. Seems like they haven't progressed. I am not big on the vocalist anyway.
I just read a couple of decent reviews for this on M-A which made me hope I get to hear it one day and judge for myself. Still, I find myself trusting the opinions offered above first, so I'll just leave it to the hands of fate.
