Re: Ten - Heresy and Creed review

I share many of the comments and thoughts on Ten here guys. Loved the early albums and my favourites are those first 2 superb albums but it's 'Spellbound' that is my favourite of theirs, a superb slice of quality high produced melodic hard rock that I love. 'Babylon' worked for me big time too with some stellar tracks, particularly in first half of the album but from 'Far Beyond the World' onwards things have got very very patchy and samey (I do like that Cd but in a 7 out of 10 kind of way whereas previous albums had all been 8s or 9s for me).
I enjoyed 'Stormwarning' as a good comeback (7 out of 10 again for me,w with great production and some super tracks, but nothing stunning) and having heard 'Heresy and Creed' on Spotify twice and read comments I;m just not sure that I want to part with another tenner for more of the same average to good stuff that doesn't really excite me. It's a shame really as at their best Ten have been and could be a fantastic band but they seem to have sunk into being ok to good and with so many classy releases out there I just don't want to buy any more ok albums.
I'll spend my cash on the new 3 Doors Down Greatest Hits, Lifehouse release in December and am enjoying the Anberlin and Jimi Jamison releases a lot.
