But I don’t think the band matured. Perhaps business wise, they have, since I would probably head in the same direction as well, more money. They are growing old, and still playing off their band name.

If the band is so different, and so many line-up changes, why are they still keeping the legendary band name? Only because it has equity with fans who remember the good times. I will take a few more listens to the album, but my initial perception was anything but awesome.

And the only song I enjoy was the “everything must go” song, which seems to be the only one to reflect the personal voice of Adam. But the lyrics are palathetic for the song. Really, compare to the past lyrical structures.

Thanks for the review, but a 10? Really.
