Why do you all talk about them a) like you actually know them and b) like they're TV characters. How can you say "they lost their passion"? You're sitting in your room, listening to a cd, analyzing people you don't know and critiquing what they put a lot of themselves into. You may have your opinion about something but what gives you the right to so nonchalantly dismiss what is this band's heart and soul? They are obviously pleased with the record... it's amazing that some of us want more no matter what. If YOU are disappointed in the album, it doesn't live up to YOUR expectations. I for one love it.
