[smlevine88]

Ed speaks about how he wasn't a fan of the band when Chris Shinn was the lead singer. And talks about how there is a lot of good 90s nostalgia-

I put TGF and The Turn on equal footing and both are far, far superior to anything Ed has been involved with in 20 years. CCP still suck, too, but their side projects were at least good.

As soon as Love Lounge came out, I cleansed my palate with The Turn. It's easily my favorite Live record since Birds of Pray, and only gets stronger with repeated spins. There are some great songs on there (Siren's Call, Rodgerton Dr, Way out is through, He could teach the devil tricks), and one awful one (I don't even have Till You Came Around in the playlist, and had to look up its name).

I have to agree that TGF and The Turn are on equal footing. CCP make really good music when they're given the chance to crank it to 11, which they got to do when they were unshackled from Ed.

Spot on. How we would love CCP doing what they're good at (TGF, The Turn) combined with some real effort put in lyrics and vocals by Ed. Still hold out hope some of that magic shines through some of the other new songs and that Love Lounge is for the new EP what Heaven was for BoP: a single to reach a wide audience. Time for some Like I do-ish shit!
