There are. Here is a song by song report.

    1. Heavy as fuck. AIC is the band every modern hard rock band (Chevelle, Disturbed, etc) tries to be, but aren’t nearly as good.

    2. Awesome, heavy, deep groove. “Check My Brain”? Dense vocal harmonies, inflection just like Layne. Depth.

    3. Power grooves, bass present throughout.

    4. Acoustic. First time you can hear Duvall’s voice upfront without all the layers of guitars and harmonies. Verse sounds like “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World.” Multi-layer vocal harmony. very ’90s guitar — “Your Decision”?

    5. “A Looking in View.” God damn this song is heavy. Track 1-3 were also as heavy as this. This album is slow, groovy. Slow heavy as opposed to fast heavy. Sometimes slow is heavier than fast. Fade out… no one really does fade-outs anymore.

    6. Another acoustic song. Is this the Layne song? Kinney bongos. Electric solo great — shoulda been longer.

    7. Slowest yet — heavy. Not going for poppy choruses on this record, just good songs and emotion. Part 2 — fastest section on the record yet. Back to part 1. This song is epic. Back to part 2!

    8. mid-paced rocker — most like old AIC so far. Duvall’s voice really low, haunting. Pretty sweet chorus. Possible single.

    9. Big, slower, but arena-rocky. Major key chorus. Reminds me of “Sea of Sorrow.” Short but fitting solo. Song still kinda slow and plodding (in a good way).

    10. Really slow but still loud. Distorted guitars. AIC are the Crowbar of alt-metal/rock. Gigantic sounding guitars on this whole record. Another ace solo – Jerry not a guitar hero, just plays what’s right.

    11. Quiet. piano + guitar + vocals. Layne song? melancholy. “Black Gives Way to Blue”? “I Remember You.”

i am a member of this board because guns n roses is my favorite band and I love their music. thus i see it as no "crime" to vote Black Album.

But see what made the defense passable in 07 was the offense. The offense put up so many points that it forced opposing offenses to give up on the run and go with the air attack, enable the pats to focus much more on rushing the passer. Thus, an old Vrabel  gets his sacks and Asante (always a playmaker though) gets better chances for picks.

if this offense is 80 percent of the 07 offense, the defense should be able to have a phenomenal year.

pats just traded for DE derrick burgess. raiders get a draft pick. does Al Davis owe Bill something or what? he loves trading the pats talent for picks he does nothing with. they'll probably draft some WR with a 4.0 forty who's about 4 feet tall.

its really difficult to pick against the pats this year. revamped secondary, a brand new pass rusher, plus fred taylor and joey galloway...you could argue that this team is more talented than the 18-1 team.

wouldnt it be more appropriate to use show's closing credits when they are voted off?
