With all due respect to your opinion. After hearing the leak, I don't know how you can say it doesn't sound like great white. It's got Great White all over it. It's pretty obvious Kendall/Lardie riffs on nearly every single song. There was maybe 2 songs...MAYBE...that didn't really have an immediate Great White feel. Vocal style, yes, that's a little different, but it's pretty much exactly what I expected, and musically it's sounds 100% like Great White.
