After years of talking about it, TSO has finally released their much-anticipated Night Castle CD. I got it in the mail yesterday and have listened to it through a couple of times. I have to say...I'm pretty disappointed.
I'm a huge TSO fan (I'll listen to the Christmas songs year round LOL) so I've been very much looking forward to this release. There are some songs that definitely standout as classic TSO, but there are others that seem flat. The songs tell another big story, but IMHO it just lacks the punch and emotion of past albums. Sometimes it takes more than a few listens for me to really get into an album, but I'm definitely feeling disappointed right now. What are some other thoughts out there?
I'm also curious as to what this years tour will be like. Given that this new CD tells a big story I have to believe that they'll be devoting at least half the show to the new material. I won't be seeing TSO this year (first miss in five years...daughter is performing in a performance of the Nutcracker ) so I'll be relying on my fellow Wallers to fill me in.
