(vid) The tracklisting: Fail: "The Day" "Cinderblox" Bigger Fail: "I Have a Right" "Somewhere Close to You" Very Huge Fail: "Don't Be Mean" "Alone In Heaven" "Only Broken Hearts (Make You Beautiful)" Most Massive Fail: "Shitload of Money" I sold my CD of The Days of Grays a few days ago after uploading an mp3 to this site.  I think I know why I don't want anything to do with this band anymore.

I thought the exact same thing when I first saw the tracklisting.  Maybe it was a joke.  No way they would have recycled one of their old song names not once, but twice.  But there they are, and I'll be damned if this doesn't turn out like the new Morbid Angel did: awful track names making the horrible music not surprising whatsoever.

And my love for The Days of Grays actually makes this worse: there's no progression, no experimenting, no emotion, no technicality.  It's just a pop song.  It's the total opposite of what made The Days of Grays good. 

Of course, this all could be a massive overreaction.  I hope it is, because they're one of my favorite power metal bands.  But this might be the biggest disappointment of the year for me.

For me, it might be this album I am now listening to: The first song, "Piece of the Action", sounds like "White Wedding". Is it really that bad?  I haven't heard it but I thought all of the negative whispers were people just being dramatic.
