Alright - I waited for my album in the mail and gave it a ton of spins. Here's my 2 cents:

Quick Thoughts On Some Songs:

Drive - Great opening song for this album. Works well.

The Great Beyond - Not the best song on the album but it is my favorite by far. Love the riff. Reminds me of Magnum PI.

Stand - Even though Daughtry helped with Drink, this song seems like a Daughtry song. Another solid song.

In Your Light - Was Eh at first, but this song is about Ed's wife. With a hot wife and two kids of my own I can relate and respect it.

Rome - The only song on the album I don't care for. I don't hate it, I just don't dig it at all.

Soul Whispers - Cool song

Others Not Mentioned - I enjoy them all

Bonus Material: Eat Your Love should have been Need Your Love. The title is cheesy. The music is good (almost like a Stage type song) but the vocals do not match the intensity. A New World is a fantastic song that should have been on the album.

The biggest thing I noticed compared to Live wasn't the drums, it was the guitar work. It was different, but not in a bad way.

Overall: I have to say after reading the boards I was skeptical but hopefully optimistic for this album. After listing to it since Tuesday I have to say I actually love this album. I enjoy it more thatn V, BOP, SFBM, and MJ (keep in mind that I never liked the MJ album recordings, I do enjoy some of the songs live much more).

In my opinion this is the best album Ed has worked on post TDTH. I'm actually thrilled about it and plan to enjoy it all summer long.
