It IS bullshit because it is the same crap I've read on blabbermouth.net for the last six years. They tried something different and the fans deserted them. They got labeled Selloutica or Alternica. Now they show that they can still write metal and the critics say they are recycling the old stuff. News flash, AJFA was a rehash of MoP and MoP was a rehash or RtL.:
Track 1: Trashy, not too long
Track 2: Epic song
Track 3: Mid tempo song
Track 4: Ballad
After that they throw in another epic song, the fastest song on the record, and an instrumental.
My only real complaint is Lars. He's gotten really lazy over the last few albums. There is more to the drums than the fucking snare Lars!!! I get that the drums are going to be louder than most bands would make them, it is how most of their stuff is. But damn, I hope the rest of the album has a little more usage of the rest of the drum kit.
Actually, listening to Dyer's Eve right now. He's pretty snare happy in there as well.

Exactly. The guy was going through serious issues. He had alcohol issues, family life issues, and the band was falling apart. I thought it was cool that they let people in to see them work things out.

That is of course just internet rumor at this point, so take it for what it's worth.

I think it is the first single. Complaining about the quality of a stream that was INTENTIONALLY given at a low bitrate makes no sense. There are high quality versions floating around. That song sounds amazing in my car.
