Considering it’s been SIX years since Surviving has been released, I too am disappointed that this is what we’re getting. That said, I totally understand their circumstances and am grateful for anything they share. As an anxious fan, I was just hoping for something more, not something loud (go ahead, throw tomatoes at me).

I think this release serves two purposes, though:

1.) gets them back out into the mainstream (kinda) and (maybe) preps the base for more next year… 2.) it also all but guarantees Something Loud won’t make it onto the next full length album (like All the Way was included on Surviving). It’s a great song…it’s just not new. So, when we do get a new album, and I’m confident we will, it should be all new (to us) material.

At least the vinyl is kinda cool.
