Is anyone buying this album? I would have bought it yesterday, but since I want the special edition I had to wait at least until today, and they haven't called yet, because the only place in town that is getting is getting their shipment late. I love the last album and am looking forward to this album so much!
 
It has some good tracks, and Jon's riffing is pretty creative...but there are too many ballads. Hansi sounds a little more German than usual, but that adds a cool folk aspect to some of the songs. Overall I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

Bobby Jarzombek's drumming is outstanding! He play's Jon's riffs on the bass & snare, it sounds absoutley killer.
 
I'd give it at least a 8-9 out of ten. Yes, there are too many ballads...but the other songs make up for it. I'm a shred head, and Jon's playing someway makes me not pay attention to soloing on IE or D&W stuff, it's pretty neat.
 
To the people who didn't like it much, did you like the first one? I really liked it, one of my all time favourite albums actually. And I aslo liked the Fiddler On the Green quite a bi. So I like both their ballads and harder songs.
