PowerSurge
New Yorker
I don't understand why we're stuck in the mindset that it can't be their greatest album. I don't think the chances are bindblowingly high, but it's certainly a possibility. Interference has already judged the album, really: it will be a good, solid album, better than the last two, but noting overly amazing, or terrible. Why? It certainly could be their best work ever; it certainly could be their worst.
A good point.
Exactly, why can't it be? You would imagine that Music is not like sports; where the younger you are the better you tend to perform and the older you are the more washed up you get. You would think that just like any other art form; the older and more wiser you get the better your work would become. But I guess its not always like that.
I still do think that this album can be great, maybe even their best ever...but too many people already have their mindset on the fact that it can't be their best ever without even hearing the album to begin with. So its already got two strikes against it....which is unfortunately the case with many of the last few albums they've released.
