Things aren't going to change with Ed's direction. So I guess the question becomes when are you going to be ready to move on?

I would agree, this is obv who Ed is now. He used to change from album to album but after three consecutive albums of mainly writing love pop rock songs, it seems clear that this is who Ed is and going to be. Also, I will say that Alive is way better than SBFM. That album absolutely was garbage with the exception of about two or three songs. Alive is not garbage. I think it could have been alot better if he would have had some real time and musicians work on it but there are a six to seven songs that are decent which makes it a decent album. I think Zion and Soul Whispers still have that LIVE esscense about them. Drve and Grace sound like material that could have been on BOP similar to Like I Do, Heaven, and Lighthouse. I am starting to really dig Eat Your Love as well. The lyrics are cheesy but it could it reminds me of material from TDTH or V days. I also think if Ed would have had someone write some really cool music for The Great Beyond and make it a like a 6 or 7 minute song it could have been great. Somthing similar to The Distance or TSUFL from TDTH. Yes there are some shitty songs on there though, such as In Your Light and Just In Time. These songs are an embarrasement but thats the greatness of the digital era. Just delete them off your playlist now!
