I don't mean to be harsh. I don't have a problem with the new album, but it sounds like a lot of bands that have been around for 30 years, in that they are basically looking back at what's popular of their old material and making that; as a result the album is pleasant, accessible and likable at first listen, but I get the impression I shan't be listening to it much after it's been out a couple of months.
