Just thought I'd take a moment to publicly admit I was wrong.

You win, PJ.

    Haha, whatever ;)

    I don't expect anyone to give a shit what I think so your point is well taken. That said, though what I write resides in the absolute smallest corner of the universe, it's still my corner and I've a responsibly to clean it up every now and then.

    You know what, I sort of did. The first part of the song drove me absolutely nuts for weeks but the change at around 1:38 is a change for the better and from there it's less hokey honky tonk and more bluesy with Mike's solos and I can get into it.

    My biggest thing was that I didn't much like BS and I felt the leaked tracks I had heard were more of the same. I don't feel that way anymore though. I wanted some kind of "return to form" and when it didn't at first sound like what I was hoping for, I was disappointed. Once I let expectations fall away and listened to the songs more, I warmed to them and after hearing the album, I'm certain Infallible, Pendulum and Yellow Moon are some of the best songs they've written in years.

    I'm in the same boat as you, man. I had zero expectations of a real good album. I expected a few good songs and that is it. Damn was I wrong.

    I'm an optimist, I can't help it.
    So glad you found something in the album that moved you. :)

    Lesson: Never jump the gun.

    This album has high potential...could be a heavy hitter on the discography scale.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Kudos to the OP. I have been really excited about the album, but I was a little worried at the same time. After one listen I was so happy that it kicks this much ass.
