Obviously there is already a version of the upcoming Billy Talent III album out there in the wild. I was able to listen to it and I have to admit that I’m really disappointed. After I and II and a great tour all around the world – this album is just not enough. It feels like they want to belong somewhere so badly but they’re not suited for that niche. You might ask yourself: “WTF is he talking about?” Okay, let me explain. The new album feels like they tried to get the whole album mainstream radio playable which is exactly what the last two albums were not (not that the stations didn’t play them eventually).
Overall this disc is slower than the other ones. But this is my first impression so I will definitly wait till the “real” release is out and rant about that then again.
Billy, I’m very sorry but this is crap (compared to I and II).
