Ah well. It's a shame we can't have decent opposing viewpoints on here without people going crazy at each other.
I'm banking on most of these songs having various different sections to them, hence the full songs will offer us far more than meets the eye (ear) at the moment. Apart from Empty Spaces, of course.
Curious that someone above mentioned Disturbed - it's quite interesting how Disturbed and LP have approached their new albums. Disturbed tends to stick to the same sound, but their music becomes more refined as they do more and more of it, hence the sound doesn't become stale (at least to me). LP have decided to break free of their roots entirely which I respect - I'm glad they're making music they enjoy, and hey, it sounds pretty good - but part of me will always want to know what LP would sound like now if they were consciously still writing their old style of music. Perhaps a little experimentation here and there to keep it fresh, but boy would I love to hear that album.
I'm really looking forward to their new live show - it's going to be cool to see how they integrate new with old.
