I am officially done with FF until they prove it should be o

"So I got my Amazon shipment the other day. I had been hesitant to buy the new FF, "Transgression," because people had bashed it pretty hard in their reviews, but I figured that I would give them a chance since I had been a fan since the beginning and since metal fans can be closed-minded on occasion about bands changing anything.



By the first several songs, I was thinking, "Well, this isn't so bad. Not memorable really yet, but not terrible. And by the end of the fifth song, "Empty Vision," I was actually getting into it, thinking, "Nice riff."



Then the next song started.



Not only is track 6, "Echo of My Scream" a ballad (fine, whatever), but it is a ballad complete with cheesy rock drums and canned synth violins on the chorus (so not fine). That was the end of the positive listening experience for me. It only goes down-hill from there. The next two songs are similarly poppy, in the worst way, and one of them had me thinking, "You know, I do own some Blink-182 if I am in the mood for that. I wanted FF." Two not-heavy-at-all covers in a row after that pretty much ensured that whatever the last song was, I wasn't going to care.



So disappointing. This ranks with Life of Agony's comeback in the form of a Velvet Revolver tribute band. One more band I liked has sold out. Sigh.



Well, at least the new Nevermore and new Opeth kick ass."
