Ok, it must be even worse than the previous one. Will not waste my time with another pseudo-metal pop album from LaBrie.

I don't even care, I like it  "Static Impulse" was superior but this one isn't that much different from it in terms of musical elements.
Yes, it's very easy on the ear and catchy and does what it's supposed to do. It will not be a groundbreaking album, but it's a fun listen.

Any time something isn't black metal or death metal: "This isn't metal, it's pop." Gotta love it...
Anyway, this album is pretty good. The first track is by far the best, after that it's mostly downhill, with a highlight here or there. I'd probably give it a 7.

Let me rephrase for those who misunderstand. This is weak pop dressed as metal, and it fails as pop as it does as metal. Better now?

That's exactly how I felt about Static Impulse, and I sincerely believe, so it's no surprise to hear this album described like that.

Checked out some weeks ago on Youtube. First song is good, the rest was boring... Couldn't get to the end of it. Might try it later
Also ... funny thing and does not relates here... As a video recommendation on Youtube from Labrie to Sieges Even, then from SE to a band called 7for4. THEY ARE AWESOME. Like, in capital.

Haven't heard about them in a loooong, long time. Checked their website. Apparently a new album is in the works. Though, if we're talking that kind of stuff, I'll take Karcius.

Does what it does decently. Very pop and cheesy? yes, but i enjoyed it as a one-off.
And you wont find any prog here for sure, this was more like melodic groove metal honestly.

I really like it, but yes if you've come looking for great depth and a progressive album, this will disappoint you. So what?
I'm very glad for this album because his vocals are so much more interesting than on the new Dream Theater. Is it the mixing or is it intentional? It's like night and day for me.

Some pop can be decent. Sure, it won't give you much emotionally, but it may give you a good time. I haven't listened to this album yet, personally.
EDIT: Didn't see your later post, sorry!
Only decent band I like that can be defined as pop is really Moon Safari, which is technically a progressive rock band with pop leanings.

Of course. There is a lot of pop music that I think is great. Saying something is pop is not a derogatory remark at all.

It's a decent, enjoyable album, very catchy indeed, I kinda agree it's pop dressed as metal; well, sometimes I want to listen to something catchy so I was not disappointed. Next time, LaBrie should try something different though, this sound is already too predictable.

Yeah, at first it sounded like you said as much, but as I said I didn't notice your next comment.

Personally I really love this album. Yeah it's pop. The show is so Van Halen. There is nothing wrong with pop metal or any pop music in general. Just like any genre pop can be good or bad. Both One Direction and Elton John are pop. One sucks and one is amazing. This album is an example of well constructed pop metal.

I don't really get the hate. You just need to understand what you're signing up for. My initial thought was "This is what Soilwork would sound like with James Labrie singing." It's got a lot of melo-death kinda nu metalish moments buts it's simple, clean, and catchy. Don't expect to go off the deep end with this album and it's actually quite enjoyable.

Haha, in that case, I don't listen to a single metal band.
