The first time listening to the whole album I kinda had the same reaction...as did I with 10000 Days initially...then I went thru them again and got more out of them. Instrumentally I think the new album is a masterpeice....as far as Maynards contribution I am still on the fence. I was told that Adam and Danny write and lay the instrument tracks and then send them over to Maynard so he can write and lay vocals. Seperate processes. If this is true, it seems to me that he left alot of open space in songs where vocals could've been laid. Not sure if by design or not. I gotta say...it was refreshing to me to hear some new rock that hasnt been put thru a record companys filter. I have yet to hear a radio station play a new song.....which I think is a good thing?
