I haven't stopped listening to this album today. The insight portrayed in these lyrics are beyond words. Yes, the sound of this album is much different than all of the others, but that's the point. They've grown up, and their music has as well. "I want to have friends, that accept me for the man that I am, not the man that I was." I can't wait to see how far these guys go! Just don't forget about all the fans that loved you before Columbia Records
