I do not know how the band sounded before, but there were complaints that the band from "sound" here has become calmer. Now that the US "Nashville" a multi billion dollar business, it is so hard reality also is close, jump the bands on the Komerzzug. Because Country's over there a very popular business and so the development of a strategic move of the band was then sure. Who Toby Keith, Trace Adkins or knows (icons in Country Olymp), will notice that some of the songs, such as: "Right Back Home" have adopted strong trains them.
But as someone who almost exclusively Country listens, I can not say that the band would be them now covered. Lifehouse has "carefully Tauchfühlung" added at this point (I think) by individual passages were teased. But who hears the "right" country which will also notice. Nevertheless, I found the influence very successful, because the "rocking" costume of the band as it is now paired with individual Country influences make the album a real ear worm. Many of the songs have something "anthemic" and I hear really often lately. It has in the meantime feel as if an "angel choir" the ears by pulling what makes me addicted to the substance of this CD.
I can understand when fans of the "original" tape may be disappointed. But the band has evolved in a direction that brings them new fans, like me, among other things (if you have the style as here) maintained. Because too much pop music is just poison. But the framework on rock and country is just "music" in my ears. More please!
