I agree with you on most of the slower ballads, but I think you might be wrong about Lucy. It has more then just a meaning about some one who died, I know that it touches that, but with alot of the lyrics I see more of a “Citizen Kane” kind of thing going on. Some times I wonder wether Lucy is a person or maybe a memory of his that he’s lost. It really gives you something to think about

I guess that makes more sense, but I still can’t hear it that way. Maybe I’m just going crazy!

The lyric on Sometimes is wrong. It’s “…Just as MESSED UP as me.” Just to clarify.

I’m The Exact Same Way. When They Released Hero And Then Monster I Was Excited To Hear The Rest Of The Album. I Was Hoping For A Good Rock Cd That I Wouldnt Want To Take Out Of My CD Player Because Its So Good. Dont Get Me Wrong I Like Slower Songs. But Thats To Many For One Album. The Original 12 Songs Should Have Been Split Up So That There Was About 9 Rock Songs And 3 Slower Ones. That Would Have Been Perfect. In All Its A Pretty Good Album. I’m Not Gonna Lie I Was Dissapointed When I Listened To The Whole Thing. But They Are Still An Amazing Band I Know They Will Come Back With An Amazing CD

I was hoping I wouldn’t leave to impression. I love ballads, done creatively and well. The ballads on Awake seem bland and uninspired to me, and yes, there are way too many of them.

I’m an old school guy: I don’t just buy one or two songs from an album. I buy the entire album and judge it on the entire listening experience.

Again, I hope the album as a whole grows on me as I listen to it more and more. I was hoping for another Rock Monster like Comatose.

So you only like rock songs? Well, that’s fine. But it’s a bit unfair to judge a song based on being slow.

And it’s a shame that you didn;t upload the DE tracks, they’re the two I really wanted to hear.
