well, it's not the worst thing in the universe, it's pretty much just the same thing that happened on the last few albums....the songs that I really get into have got some spark to them.......... but a lot of it is (again) pretty phoned in, which is the opposite of what we want from RW. Those unfamiliar with the band must acquire 'Death or Glory', 'Masquerade', and 'Pile of Skulls' at once.
