Bleh. Unless they go back to their Dysfunction and Break the Cycle (minus tracks 1,3,4,7, & 11) roots, I'm not interested. They used to rock HARD. I mean, just listen to Raw or Spleen off Dysfunction. That's some good shit. I get it though, they sounded just a little too much like the Deftones and they needed their own sound. I don't blame them for softening their style. Mouth-breathers everywhere will always pay for some sort of simple power ballad love/agony song bullshit that they can jerk off to on their way to Wal-Mart to buy diapers for their 14 kids and bigger underwear for their ever-swelling wife. That's a huge market. Just look at how many fans Larry the Cable Guy has. I get it, I'm just not impressed with the result. Aaron Lewis needs to man up and start screaming again. Then, hopefully, I can listen to one of their albums from this century without skipping half the songs.

Just to make myself clear, I'm not trying to attack you here Night, I just wanted to bitch. I was very disappointed when they went soft. Lewis used to be an amazing screamer but he was ruined by Clear Channel.
