New +Live+ album Options

[Lerxst]

Well, since this is a Live forum and people in recent weeks have been asking here and there my opinion of the new music. I'll say this much. I like the sound. I'd say it's a great departure away from melodic slower tunes we've been getting to more jam-oriented energized rock driven CD's of the early half of the band's career. Some of the stuff reminds me of TDTH and SS era. SS in a musical sense, not in a dark atmospheric sense.. Just straight up rock and roll! I think CT at one point likened it to a cross between U2 and Radiohead, and I can see that completely. If you're a fan of Unified Theory then you're familiar with Chris' vocals and I have to say he's got great vocal range. One major difference I can immediately tell is the abundance of collaboration in the studio. Everyone's involved and the atmosphere is relaxed, fun, and creative. I would say that yeah, while the fanbase might be somewhat splintered, if you're a fan of music, you'll really dig CCCP. Hopefully the guys will post more teasers but as you can tell from what they have posted, it will be a rocking CD, a breath of fresh air.
