Lol. Leaving out best euphemisms for sex in KISS songs. Troll

"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
Definitely some great moments on the album but I can also find parts of each song I do not like. Either the music gets boring. Or too many ohhhs, and la la la's. A few moments where I feel like I'm listening to some top 40 rock pop band like the killers.
I'm sure some songs will grow on my like amongst the waves and lightening bolt (the song) did but overall don't love it. I think they could have made a better album if they just threw something together in 2 weeks. I mean the guys can play and Ed can still sing but tried too hard to make a unique album. Props to them for that but doesn't do it for me.
Maybe it's money. Or age. Seems to happen with most bands. Once $$$ rolls in it's hard to keep that rawness and edge which is why fans loved you to begin with.
3 albums in a row that I've been less than impress with but I'll still go to the odd show. They always sound better live. Even the songs that do nothing for me on album.
I think that's how we ended up with Can't Deny Me. No thanks
I think some people are glass half empty and some are glass half full. Some people just like to complain and see the negative such as the OP. They can’t get upset if we are reacting to their post as this is what they wanted. They started a new thread to complain when they could have posted in the review thread that was already started. They wanted a reaction. The album is great and couldn’t be happier but some people are never satisfied and will never be happy with anything. They just like to complain. I’m sure it’s not just this album but probably a majority of things in their lives that they complain about. I call them Debbie Downers. That’s my opinion.
When I listened to it digitally I was disappointed. I liked some songs, felt some were quite shitty but all in all thought the start of the album was strong and it faded about halfway through.
I got my 10c vinyl in the mail today, I listened with headphones on while working from home (yeah social distancing, happy to have a job) and I have to say my opinion is way different! I really dig this album.
I am a vinyl nerd, and I do feel the sound quality is better as well as the listening experience, but I feel like it's a different album listening this way.
So long story short, I will forever be a VS junkie, but I put this album well above LB and Backspacer, probably Avacado as well, maybe Binaural as I listen more.
Fuck it I will rank them while I'm at it:
Vs No Code Riot Act Vitalogy Ten Yield Binaural Gigaton Avacado LB Backspacer
@scurtis you're just a nerd, no need to put "vinyl" in front of it. We all know.

All the people that stated a separate thread to praise the album, what were they looking for? What’s the difference?

Because they were right. And I believe was done to combat the negative ops thread Becky. I think they were posting a positive thread about the album which is good to have on a fan board. Why can’t people post positive messages?

If you’re disappointed in the album, they told us in the first single to: save your predictions burn your assumptions expecting perfection leaves a lot to ignore/endure
and for those irked by others disappointment: not one man can be greater than the sum...
and to those irked by the irked: that’s not a negative thought... I’m positive!
And to the back and forth:
Could’ve held me up; rather tear me down
we’re stuck in our boxes, windows open no more
but I guess: the boys just want to grow their dix, and fix, and fire things
I love this album, but not because it is what I think it should have been, but rather as a representation of the knowledge and experience of 5 deep and critically thinking humans who thoughtfully observe, wonder, and contemplate the world around them. Any creation of that kind of collective wisdom, for me, can only be admired and celebrated.
"...what a different life had i not found this love with you..."

There's plenty of great tracks on this record... For now my favorite is Take the Long Way which is very different... The music rocks on this one and the guitar from Mike is epic. It's a Cameron song perhaps Soundgarden inspiration?
