My thoughts on Alternatvie four and Judgment

[Russell]

When I listen to these albums I notice something. On alternative four the songs are written in a way I would never expect, when I first listened to them I didn't like it, cos I didn't like the way the vocals came in at places where I didn't think they should be etc. I really like that now, but listening to Judgment there is far less of this, the songs are more predictable. They still rock, but alternative four just has the edge because of the unusual way the songs are written

Do u agree?, Disagree?

Whoa...ya know I was actually thinking right along those lines myself! I've had Alt. 4 for about 2 years now and I'm FINALLY understanding it! I'm gonna have to place it above Judgement at this point I think.

I think there are songs on Judgement as unpredictable as on A4, but mostly you're right. But still, on my first listen to Judgement I thought it was too 'nice' and too 'pop' compared to the guitar-heavy A4 sound. Now Judgement is my all-time favourite.

I've had it for.... 3 weeks But I've listened to it so much I know the entire albums lyrics off by heart (which is very rare, infact its never happened before!), and I just love it!

Yeah, there are exceptions (sp?? its been a long day ) I didn't think it was too pop at first, but I thought it was kind of blander, not as...... different as their other albums. Still damn good tho!
