Well, if they weren't that popular, then how come I've never seen a SW show
that wasn't sold out? Just because some one gets booted from a record label,
does not mean that they are not popular. Ok, I will admit though, the new
album is deffinetly not my FAVORITE album, because, hell, WBBP will always
be my favorite album. I will laso admit that, yes, the new album at first
did make me angry, it did make me think they sold out, and I hated the new
sound. But then, once I forced myself to listen to it a few times, I began
to realize it all had the same message, it was all the same. Just because
you change a few minor things, does not mean you are suddenly "churnning out
crap".
Just give them time, I mean, they've never disappointed us before.
