Re: Does Dave hate this album?

Most of these songs just don't work in a large venue setting and never resonated with the audience. Almost all of the songs on this album spawn a massive crowd bathroom/beer run exodus. For a mellow song to work in a huge venue it needs to have great singalong lyrics and eventually morph into something dynamic (e.g. Grace is Gone, Typical Situation, etc.) Unlike previous efforts, most of the AFTW songs never really evolved in the live setting. It seems like the band didn't really feel like investing time into the songs and developing jams. I think it's obvious that Dave doesn't think highly of the record.
