Awesome, thanks for posting. Okay, the whole song sounds much better than the snippets that I've heard. It was decent. I will have to reserve overall judgement until I hear the full CD.
For me, STFD had a couple nice tracks, but there wasn't a lot there. Almost like it was some of JT's ideas and JN's de-tuned solo band throwaways. I was happy to see something new, and to get see them tour the States. Secret Society, was a bit different, but I liked it. I can get why a lot of diehards where like, WTF are they doing though. Trying a bit too hard to be a modern Europe. LLAE, I thought was a better attempt at trying to be a current, relevant Europe. There were some hints to classic Europe with some current flare. Of the 3, definitely the most "Europe" sounding release since the reunion, and could have been a follow up to Prisoners in Paradise IMO. I am partial to PIP, I thought that was a great album and many of the demo'd songs were better, but Sony didn't hear the chart topping ballads, to they told them to keep writing. I am anxiously awaiting what BoB will bring overall. They did mention this was going to be more blues oriented. Hopefully, it isn't like Poison jumping from "Unskinny Bop" (or whatever album that was) to "Native Tongue." I'm not a huge Poison fan, but it was the only comparison I could come up with...lol.
