Birds of Pray Options

I haven't listened to this album in a long time. I am surprised that i'm enjoying a lot of it. Somewhere in my mind I had this notion that LIVE had just quit rocking the last few albums but that's not true. Now SFBM was way too poppish for my taste but BOP was pretty good. I'm ok with Heaven as a single but Run Away was a horrible choice. That has to be one of my least favorite LIVE songs of all time. I think She or Like I Do would have been much better.

Of the 13 tracks on the album, only 3,4,5, and 12 should have been left off in my opinion.

What do y'all think of this album?

To me BoP was a massive let down. I accept it for what it is but originally I thought the album that was going to come after "V" was going to be filled with all the negative emotion "V" caused. I thought it was going to be a big "Fuck you!" to everyone that was involved in more or less forcing the band to do something they didn't really want to do.

I don't really listen to BoP simply because there are always 4 better options that are always more appealing.

It's like why watch Rocky 5 when I can watch Rocky 1-4?

Yeah. After The Distance To Here, V came like a sucker punch. When you thought Live might reach out a hand and help you off the mat, BoP was just a spit in the face while you were down. And SFBM made you just want to walk away from the whole mess. When else in history had something so great become so feeble? Maybe we need to go as far back as the Roman Empire to find an appropriate example.
