i dont see the atmosphere of the album as "NU" per se, but its that they stripped down their writing style with less melodies in the song. granted thats one thing i always loved about AE's music, but i think they are more or less experimenting w/ something slightly different. i hope it doesnt stay that way for the next album, but overall i really like AOR. it just to me seems a little more straight ahead balls to the wall rockin it out. anybody notice that yngwie lick they "borrowed" in saints and sinners?
favorite songs:
we will rise
dead eyes see no future
end of the line
(for right now, im sure itll change)
