so i bought the new against me! cd and i am totally dissapointed. everything they have put out up to this point has been amazing. however, their new cd "searching for a former clarity" is totally different. Tom's voice seems totally different, and i fear to say that it has taken a turn for the worse. the vocal change from reinventing axl rose to cavalier eternal was drastic, but it was ok because it fit the songs really well. the new songs seem almost mechanical, not in their structure, but in the way they are performed. i am hoping, begging, pleading that it will be an acquired taste, but at this point i am not hopeful. how dissapointing. this also leads me to an important observation. luckily this does not apply to me. if you ever get a band tatttoo, make sure the band is already broken up and they are not going to release any new material. because if you get the tattoo of an active band that is awesome, and then they start to suck and become lame (not that against me has reached this point yet) then your tattoo automatically isnt as cool anymore. sorry. not b ecause of what other people thing, but because everytime you see it, you will think of how the band was such a letdown in the end. damn. long entry. cant type anymore.
