Just heard samples from this and....WTF. If this is how the final product sounds,then who produced this pile of cr*p? Couldn't even get through more than half a dozen tracks. Geoff--are you writing this stuff? Pretty dire,IMO. Bring on ToddRhyche....and-again,WTF? You mean they're going to allow TWO bands with the same name on the market? Now that ain't too confusing for casual fans,eh? Then again--do these guys have casual fans? My take is--you either like 'em or can't be bothered. I'm as close to casual as can be--liked Empire alot. THe rest? A bit here & there,but overall..meh. T

PS: If Toddrhyche is smart,they'll write the best follow-up to Empire that they possibly can!
