Great contribution to the forum!!!....I understand that the record is very different than any other AM! album, but they have been moving towards new styles and experimentation with each record. Searching for a Former Clarity is my fav, by I love New Wave. The record is performed well, the songs are catchy, and in addition to expanding on previous subjects they have talked about, there is also new topics that they haven't explored yet.

The album is called "New Wave", did it not occur to you that maybe it would have a "new" sound different from there first 3 LP's? Maybe I'm just nuts, but I guess I just never believed that a band should make the same record over and over again...I'm sure people like you would complain about that too right?

No no...But i personally see this as a very commercial style of music...I didnt not enjoy it at all. The first 3 Lps were quite nice, i enjoyed re inventing axl rose.

But that is my right isn't? How's about instead of attacking my posts, follow your own advice and state your opinion like I did, or mind your own business. People get so bent out of shape about what they think is commercial music, but until the band says otherwise, you can be sure they made the record they wanted to.

Bipedpower, thank you for at least elaborating a little bit, but what is so bad about "commercial music". Your opionion is valid to me, you just don't have substance behind it. They made there folkier, punkier albums but have gradually been moving closer to a more rock n roll oriented sound which each record. Life is about moving foward an proggression imho not looking back.

Wow what i said had nothing to do with the music or your arguement, you just seemed a little uneccesarily agressive in your post and now you go off giving my life lessons.

I have nothing against it in general...But i would have to say a band like Against me! was nice to listen to and hear some personality. But when i listen to New wave i hear things I have heard before...Which disappointed me because i was hoping for something new and unique.

Exactly why you needed to leave my post alone, and comment on the music instead of me. You have yet to contribute anything to this thread.

What about "The Ocean", i haven't heard anyone touch on that. And there are'nt too many new topics too touch upon, it's just that Against Me! haven't explored thoses subjectsuntil this album.
