If at least the songs were good.

I don't mind a change of seasons in an artist career and I welcomed Rush, Yes, Aimee Mann, The Stranglers, Green Day or even Gentle Giant. True, Gentle Giant's commercial albums are not that bad (if you like Men at Work). But for my beloved Queensr�che, it did not go well. Here goes.

On Hear In the now Frontier, 'r�che sounds like a typical 1997 alt-band. Unfortunately, not the sophisticated-Radiohead-type but more like the Collective Soul- Third Eye Blind- Tonic- Matchbox 20 type. You know, really easily forgotten generic band. No kidding, I wanted to push skip on almost every song. And I do not feel relieved by that. I love the guys. I know they had bills to pay and kids to send to private schools, but these songs feel uninspired, tired and out of joy. And deGarmo was still in the band! Sheesh! At least they tried something new, Ac/Dc has served the same p�t� for all their career.

A true change of scenery, like ordering lacquered duck and being served fish sticks.

And by the way, who fondly remembers Collective Soul?

That's right: nobody.
