With all due respect, you can't compare the new album with Hooked or Psycho City. The sound is entirely different. I've listened to the new album and there are only 3 tracks that I can say I enjoyed. I'm one of the biggest Great White fans you'll find, but the last 3 albums are what I would call "safe". Nothing that grabs you by the scruff of your neck and rocks out. They have the occasional rocker on there, but it's mostly laid back. I've never been a fan of XYZ or Terry as I don't really care for his voice. Mark's a great player, but the intensity and aggresion from the earlier records are long gone. My opionion, obviously, but the earlier stuff is my preference.
