[Powderworks] A "dissenting" opinion?

Finally got ahold of the Capricornia album, and have listened many times
over the last several days, both at home and at work.  I must say, I
find it "disappointing", in that while I think it's strong lyrically I
just don't find the musical side very different or "progressive"
compared to last several albums.  I'm not sure what I'd like to hear
different, but it feels to me like they've hit some kind of wall or
reached some kind of limit, and only have a limited range of musical
"styles" to use....

Being a loyal Oil-er, I'll keep listening, and maybe it will grow on me
more substantially...

Increase the peace,

Rob
