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?

Totally loved this album. Never was into music in highschool, more of a nintendo boy, and someone gave me TDTH which kinda became my "first album". Fast forward half a decade and i see poster ad's for Live's new Birds of Pray album. I thought, wow they're back (keep in mind i still wasn't aware of their previous work and somehow totally flew under the radar of V, again, nintendo) so i bought it and to me it was like perfection. Maybe because i didnt have anything to measure it to (what would someone who has never heard music before think of the album?) i just assumed this was great music and these guys were gods. Also i wasnt on the internet at the time so i couldnt be influenced by other opinions.

Having since explored their catalogue and been exposed to other artists now, i can see why BOP was a dissapointment, but for me it is very special and thats all i can really say about that.
