His ballads ruin the flow of the album, everytime garunteed, he should give up writing them, and yeas Blessed are you aint the best, neither is Ghost of freedom, they all suck, mainly because Barlow can't sing them I think
I like Ghost Of Freedom They should have left it acoustic and not done the big epic ending, but Jon cant help himself.
The ballads are definitely a weak point, they arent really shockingly bad, just boring mostly. Jon doesnt realise that though, I cant believe he thought Hollow Man was something special. I liked it better when it was called I Died For You on the Dark Saga album. Maybe he is too close personally to the ballads to realise he needs to STOP BEING A PANSY AND WRITE SOME HEAVY STUFF
