I'm extremely disappointed in this after a couple listens. Maybe I was expecting too much, but it bores me. The previous two albums hit me right away.

I probably won't buy this.

Hm. I liked it a lot on the first listen. I never listened to Shine a Light a ton, but it seemed way louder than this one, whereas this one sounded more like the (awesome) live show I saw. I should go back to Shine a Light and try again though.

I think this one is much better than the last one. But then I only listened to the last one like twice before writing it off.

Shine A Light was decent but I got bored of it really quickly. I sold it on eBay a few weeks later. I probably won't be buying this one.

Ilistened to it once. No songs really grabbed me but that doesn't mean anything. Considering how much I like Shine A Light this one can probably only dissappoint. But I'll still probably like this alot.

Yea, I just listened to it myself and found it to be pretty boring. I like Shine A Light decently enough, and this one just doesn't rock as hard. It took me a few listens before I liked SAL, so we will see how this one works out.

It's not out yet.

It starts out strong and loses steam about halfway through. I don't see them ever doing anything that touches their first album.

I like Shine A Light much better, but I still like some of this too.

"Shine a light" was a total grower for me... I'm sure this one'll be the same way for me, once I finally get around to buying it...
