I've been listening to the new album for the last couple of days and I have to say I'm quite disappointed. Didn't Live used to be a rock band? All of their songs have now become Pop songs. What happened to songs like the Stage, White Discussions, Lakinis Juice, Feel The Quiet River Rage, Where Fishes Go, actual rock songs? Live seems to have lost all of it's edge.

I will always love Live but this album seems to be a big step back to me.

Just my opinion.

Jeesh.....people like you are posuers to me...these guy's have put out great misic for the better part of almost 20 years. You are indeed entitiled to your opinion but i think your opinion sucks. They have grown, evolved....times and things change, perhaps they are at different places in thier lives, I just go with the flow....i am not dissapointed at all with this new stuff....i have never been dissapointed by a live cd, EVEN 5. I am just glad they are STILL out there making music and doing what they love. This is all that matters to me. I think they are just doing great and i love the new cd. Sure, maybe you don't and that's ok. I saw them do some of the new stuff and it was great....they are the same ROCK band....they have just grown and evolved with the times. I don't see poppy in there anywhere , sorry.

I am a Live fan just as much as you. But if you think this is a ROCK record you haven't heard very much rock music. This is a straight ahead POP record.

Maybe it will grow on me but right now I'm hoping I have some good ROCK to listen to when the new Godsmack and Tool records come out.
