I like it. I don't love it but I like it. The music is great IMO. I could just listen to instrumentals, but I also say this about anything STP/TS/AOA has done.
Ok here's the thing, just my two cents but I feel like Chester is actually a better "singer" than Scott but he just doesn't have that tone that makes Scott great.
I haven't really posted about this whole thing but have been reading and it's mostly just biased/argumentative nonsense I've seen on here. And it's sort of a turn off. Like who you like but ripping on musicianship or song writing at this point is just lame.
It truly shows what kind of fan you are.
I love everything STP has ever put out and also the other projects. I'm not taking sides because I'm excited that new music is coming out from the guys. Just like I will be excited when Scott releases anything new.
Anyhow, for me 'Cry Cry' and 'Tomorrow' are the two highlights from the record and Black Heart sort of brings it down for me.
FTR I never really listened to LP too much and know their songs a little but I was surprised Chester sang as good as he did. But I found myself missing Scott's tone.
Still a good record though, and one I'll be listening to a lot.
Oh and who cares if a million people came here and skewed the vote? What difference does it make? Your point of view wins? Just be happy new rock and roll is coming out instead of all of the Miley/Robin Thicke BS that's out there.
Just my two cents.
