I mean, all of these responses are personal opinions- mine included. But, after listening to the new record since February, I really see a difference in the music since they ventured west. I honestly wasn't impressed with the new material at all- compared to past efforts. Line up every album they've done and this one doesn't stand on its own as well as the others. But, again, this is just my opinion. Regardless, we are all passionate music junkies, so good vibes to all.
