well being one of the asshats (as you so call us/me/whatever) have to say that Heir Apparrent has no peaking moments, or even simple/emotional leads over riffs that really grab my attention. The new guiatarists solo is horrible, mike's glass slide solo has no real emotion in it.
The first time I head Ghost of Perdition I was blown the fuck away. I still the Ghost Reveries is there least interesting of all their albums, but it still has some great songs, GOP, Atonement, Isolation Years, Hours of Wealth, and there's good moments in every song, but this new song, just blows IMHO, and I'm just being a critic . . . . I don't wanna be like one of those movie reviewers who highly praise any new movie that's coming out (or give that impression anyway)
so feel free to bash me now
