10 years old....wow.

V wasn't the greatest album. It had a few good songs and a lot of experimental filler. Some great skeletons were discovered too. Transmit Your Love (Beer Down Version). The video for Like A Soldier which quickly got ignored and forgotten about. Deep Enough. Ed's haircut. Ed claiming that Overcome was written WAY after it actually was for publicity's sake in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.

Still....gotta say happy birthday even if you don't like the child.

I will go ahead and call my own credibility into question.

I didn't have a problem with V. Was it what I would have expected of a new Live album? No. But then, neither was TDTH. In fact, TDTH to me was the beginning of Ed's overuse of falsetto which I found completely disturbing when I first listened to it. Their sound had already changed from the TC days, but V was clearly not where I thought the sound was going.

Was it the best Live album lyrically and musically? Nope. The worst? Possibly. But it was still a new Live album, and I'd still rather listen to the worst Live album than the best by a lot of other bands that have come about since 2001.

Maybe I'm just crazy. Call me a fool smile.gif

V was the first LIVE album that I purchased on release day. Simple Creed is still one of my favorite songs that the band have ever released. Cool video too!

I still enjoy the album and pop it in from time to time.
