Yea, the signs were there on the last cd. 'Threat to Survival' had 3-4 pretty good cuts, 3-4 fillers and some really sugary sweet us-against-the-world-be-true-yourself cuts that are awful.
This new one, Attention Attention, is way heavier & darker, but there's nothing that really stands out as a 'Wow, this is great!' cut.
And worse, It's a concept album. Alarm bells started going off all over when I read that before it's release..
I already have a ticket to see them in August, and I'm hoping they don't do the whole album because of the whole concept thing.
