Ok, as I've stated before I liked ASP's move towards a more structured and refined style, while still holding true to their roots. Their previous two CD's were sick, I will always love them.
But as much as I love bands growing and evolving, BMTH blew it. I mean really. Oli is even more whiny on this one than the previous two, and that's saying a good bit. They changed, but they lost that trademark raw style. I don't think they're good enough to try and "grow up" like they did. A couple of the songs were the usual badass BMTH, but overall I say it was a failed attempt. I haven't checked Haste the Day out but I do hope they mixed in more of the old style with the new more so than they did with Pressure the Hinges.
