As far as things are for myself, in general, I am always into the new things that bands bring out now. I usually can't get into a lot of the old stuff. It's like going back into the past. Hey, that's just me and I don't se anything wrong with that. Whatever floats your boat. All I know is I prefer the new more modern stuff that musicians or bands put out now because to me the present moment is what matters the most and was is currently "in" as far as what I am interested in until the next thing happens and so on. The only time I'll gladly accept and enjoy anything old and worn is when I happen to go to a show and a band will play the classics. Also, I tend to stay awy from the depressing stuff, I am just not that kind of person anymore. I have changed and moved on in my life, however the new LOA looks likes a keeper that I may get into. Also, I don't like the depressing stuff anymore, in general. The new LOA, however, is fresh and new and looks like something to look forward to. I feel they are reinventing themselves as a band without changing who they are as a band. It is time for something new just like how everyone else should be doing when things may tend to get stale.
