I really like the album and prefer it to BGWTB, but I fear that the prominence Jerry has taken on in the Vocals keeps him from pushing his boundaries on guitar. I also worry that maybe his neck surgery is affecting his playing and preventing him from some more aggressive riffs. I mean, he was never the most gifted guitar player but he made the best with what he has, especially on Facelift. Songs like Put You Down, I Know Somethin' (Bout You), and even unreleased songs like Lying Season and Fear the Voices all have really great interesting riffs. I think the key though is that he really didn't have to sing much on those tracks...

So far I like it better than BGWTB. Just think there is more depth. Some thoughts -
I'm surprised they still haven't let the training wheels off of William yet. Thought he'd have a more expanded role on this album.
Lab Monkey sounds like a continuation of Frogs from the Tripod album. Like sister songs or something.
Low Ceiling is pretty epic. The title track tries to be, but i feel like it drags on a bit and they built an entire song around 1 clever lyric.
Still have some more listening to do, but those are my first impressions. Totally pumped to have some more Jerry, Mike, and Sean in my music library.

OUI is terrible and it should not happen.
HAVING SAID THAT...I cannot stand the people that will be so holier than thou about these. I would say the large majority of people that drink have driven when they are over the legal limit, yet so many will act as if they could never be in such a situation.

Some lines shouldn't be crossed... like the finish line. Too soon?
I like shock humor more than anyone but you can't force it like that with no context.
Should have saved the punchline and worked on the delivery a little bit

Once again I am in close proximity of the action. My city is on lockdown and they will be performing house searches.

Anyone at the Marathon on Monday? I was at mile 25 (basically a mile away) of the marathon after the Red Sox game.
Absolutely crazy scene as suddenly everybody stopped running and I had no idea what was going on. By all accounts the scene was gruesome despite the low number of fatalities.

Looooove Sevendust. No BS with these guys - they know what they are good at and stick to it.
New album is good - Decay is an awesome single. Total throwback. The title song Black Out the Sun is well put together as well.

wow i have found the songs enjoyable, nothing has really had any "wow" factor.
want to hear more up-tempo stuff like we die young, them bones, again, or even check my brain.
