It pains me to write this but as a longtime A7X fan, this really sucks. I became an A7X fan because I LOVE hard rock and metal. I listened to this twice in its entirety just to be sure. A few songs are okay but am I really excited to go back and listen again or add to my playlist? Hell no. Was not a fan of The Stage and this is way "worser". I respect the hell out of their musicianship and writing ability and by all means if they want to go out and write this type of music as they mature, age, and evolve, do it. I just won't be listening to any of the new stuff. It's no Waking the Fallen, that's for DAMN sure. Thank God for Parkway Drive.
