...as history (of times, literature and arts) teaches us, classic can not be recreated. Classic is classic and belongs to the past. The longer classic you remain, the more in the past you fall, blind, unable to explore yourself as an artist or art itself at its borders and selfish to the world around you, as it is our natural cause to change, to seak, to create.
I understand for many of us it was and maybe still remains a difficulty to follow the new musical ways this band is paving for what i foresee, some future 'classics'.
Personally i 'grew up' with music of this band since my 12 (am now 28), i experienced its ups and downs, i love the classics, however i would really be disappointed if it remained to that.
The new album is a fresh musical air; the more i listen, the more i begin to understand it and making it 'mine' in my own ways...I adore Superchrist; (i know some of you will find idiotic)it is from my point of view one of the best pumpkin-long-guitar-jam-songs (with its fantastic drum playing) i have ever experienced from this band! HOWEVER: just a personal opinion. Anything new takes time to get 'established' in the minds of ppl, it's a matter of taste and interpretion..."in" or "out", what matters is that they are "on" again!!! Thumbs up!
Greeds and Peace on board...
