Billboard... how irrelevant is that now in this age of downloading?
Anyway, I do think that some of their musical shifts were reflective of the times, especially Q2k, without Degarmo, they had lost their sense of direction. New label, pressure, it's understandable.
I did enjoy at least half of Tribe, at least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now...
I do seem to recall much talk years ago about Mindcrime 2... but yeah, you always gotta love when metal musicians say stupid shit like he, Halford, Dickinson and countless, countless others have said throughout the years.
