Mind you, one of my favorite records of theirs is HAND and I have never had a big problem with their musical changes over the years. It may not appeal to the folks who want the harder edge (like on These Days or Slippery) back, but on first listen I like it a lot. Some will hate it, some will love it, others still will merely tolerate it (liking some songs and not others) and hope for something "better" in 2016. I did take the lack of liner notes and lyrics in the CD as a bit of a one fingered salute to the record company though.

It's not the first time they've had a dig at the label in a song ("This one is for the CEOs and record companies" - The More Things Change) but they've never been this, well, forceful about it. <br /><br />As for the album, it has its moments but I'm not sure how I feel about the songs yet.Lee-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09003896905229707798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483330837845516197.post-46333931280858975392015-08-22T20:49:14.784+08:002015-08-22T20:49:14.784+08:00I'm going out to look for it this morning.

I haven't listened to any of the pre-released songs yet and basically forgot about it until some time yesterday due to lack of publicity about the record. And now I understand why. I guess they are splitting with the long-time record company? I'm kind of surprised Jon hasn't created his own label by now anyway since he's such a business mogul. I hope it's a decent record. I have NOT been enthused about it since I heard about the release, so I guess that's why I put it out of my mind. It makes me sad to not be excited about a release from my boys for the first time in 30 years.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834516052278869035noreply@blogger.com
