IMO it's a big disappointment. There is only one good song on the whole album ("Remember It's Me"), the rest is mediocre to bad. Songs like "Right On" and "Yippie Aye Yay" are just terrible. A lot of people were raving about their Firefest performance, but that was a big disappointment for me too. They played far too many of their new mediocre songs and although Nic is a good singer, he doesn't have any stage presence. Add to that some very uninspired guitar work (I've never been fond of their 2 guitar players) and you had a mediocre performance. I had seen Gotthard many times before with Steve Lee and there is simply no comparison. For me, Steve Lee was Gotthard and without him, Gotthard is just an average band.
