angels & devils

I treated myself to the new Fuel album today. It's called Angels & Devils. I haven't really had a good chance to listen to all of it, but my initial impression is the majority of the songs on the album are a bit generic. The two tracks Gone and Wasted Time are probably the best (and are the most popular) songs on the album. Hopefully I will warm to the other songs with more listening.

As for the band, well at this point I don't think Toryn Green, the new lead vocalist, is as a good as the original lead vocalist Brett Scallions. I'm not saying that this is bad, though. It's just that Fuel is now 'different'. No matter what they've become, I still find myself liking their music. Their lyrics, in my opinion, set them apart from other bands that seem to only churn out generic dumb rock.
