Hello everyone,i haven't posted in years,mostly because all the bullshit that has been going on in the stp world. ive been pissed,sad,happy,disappointed and everything in between. But being a massive STP fan,and having a man crush on SW i don't really side with either im pretty neutral. in saying that i wish they would have left the STP name alone,but they didn't so whatever. i dont think high rise isnt bad but its not great. i love the way the deleo's approach music their chord progressions and deans tone. but this isnt a stp album. the reason why is i think these tunes sound this way for the causal fan can digest this material easier. it is very generic rock,i believe it was done on purpose to crossover and bring those linkin park fans (Chester fans) on board. if this was another band with a new name with the guys i think i would like it alot more,but because it has the stp name on it,it will never live up to my expectations of what a stp album should be. Chester is talented there is no way around that,he did what i think all of us would have done being huge fans of this band,im a guitar player and if for some reason dean wasnt around and for some reason i was asked to be the guitar played in STP you damn right i would say yes,and chester being a life long fan i dont blame him. out of time is ok same with black heart. same on the inside and tomorrow and very great tunes can't help but think what scott could have done with those. chester's song cry cry is a little weak but dean put a nasty solo on it to make a little easier to swallow. being that they slapped the stp name on this i give it 5.8/10,if they put a different name on it i would give it 8/10,i know its stupid but it just doesnt live up the the stp name to me.
