That's just shit isn't it - surely alarm bells should be ringing in Ed's bald noggin by now. Especially considering AFI shifted 10 times as many in the same time frame and hit #1 on the Billboard chart. Not that charting well is a sign of good music, but in this case, it is most definitely the case IMHO. Being both a long term Live and AFI fan, it's obvious to me that Decemberundergound is a far better album than Songs From Black Mountain. I've bought both and listened to SFBM a handful of times as it bores me rigid - the AFI one I got the leak (me bad, I know) and have listened to it for a month solid and love it more and more. I pre ordered it on the strength of the leak and to be honest, if I'd got the leaked SFBM, there's no way I'd have bought it.

Now I'm not suggesting that Ed starts wearing false eyelashes and pink nail polish (even though he'd probably look really cute as he suits a bit of eyeliner, our Ed does - he-he!) but I do think Live need to start writing, rehearsing and recording as a full band in the studio. And get a decent producer who'll really do them some justice as Jim Wirt is killing them stone dead.
