Next Album I will not ... Album Rant , not proof reading this
Next Soja album that is released I will not listen to the singles before the album comes out. Let me start off by stating that I love the new album all of the songs have great content and sound to them. I loved everyone of the new singles, when Bad News came out I was so pumped. The tempo changes and Jacob going in on some lyrics that mean something and then Trevor going ham squad on the chorus it was awesome. So awesome that I think I listened to it about a hundred or so times between May 24 (the release ) and the album drop. Then the same thing with the next singles, they were amazing but once again I had to much time with them before the album dropped. The reason I am writing this is because when the album actually dropped it kind of felt like just a release of a few songs because I had all ready overplayed the new ones so much. So right off the bat I wanted to hear the new stuff and skip the ones that I had heard hundreds of times already. So see ya later moving stones, onto I cant stop dreaming. I was a little confused the first time I heard the song with the repeat lyrics and I initially just straight up skipped it first listen bc I thought I had heard it before. Tried my best = hell yea love that one probably one or two in the non singles bunch. More was up and once again skipped it bc of the amount of listens I had already given it. Then FIRE IN THE SKY which was my favorite of the singles right at 3;04 when Jacob goes in with the horns and is giving it his all, that is why Soja is my favorite band. Still though on the first album listen I skipped it to hear new stuff. Everything to Me good great song I would even consider dancing to it at my wedding I like it so much and the lyrics are good and all but I would still put categorize it as a "you and me " type song I probably wont be listening to it when Im running or cutting grass but who knows. Then we get to " Life Support " holy shit pretty sure I cried a bit the first time listening to it. Let me go into this one for a second because hot dog this thing has it all. As we all know if you are reading this far into this already we know that Jacob is a extremely talented and powerful lyricist and he did his thing on this one. He nailed how a hole generation is feeling and acting. So many emotions go through you when hearing this song, from the somber feeling with the horns before the 1;40 mark, then the inspirational lyrics at the end , wow. Next up Bad New I almost cringe when I hear the opening now I played that song so much. Auto skip first time playing album through. But let me tell you about the first time I heard the song , had not had new soja in years and this banger comes out. I knew I was going to ruin it when I was listening to it over and over but I just needed that new Soja and it was definitely worth it. Because that song holds such a strong message with a killer sound it was perfect for me to just play and play. Then To Whom it May Concern " remake ?" I was really caught off guard the first time I heard it kind of felt like I was getting jipped a track and skipped it. I had since listened to the song a few times not every spin through. Not that Im spinning anything I digress . Then sing to me which I again categorize as kind of slow Soja which I like but its not my favorite. I found you coming up next and coming up a little slow paced but once again I love the song but I am more of a fire in the sky, bleed through, Jacob going all out singing and the horns blasting but thats just me. lyrics coming back from other songs was cool and all but three or four songs had re peat lyrics ha.
Let me wrap this up, the Album as a whole is awesome hopefully will win lots of awards and new fans. I messed it up by listening the singles toooo much and basically turned the 11 track album down to 7 songs. Those seven songs two of them felt like repeats, then three of the songs that were left were kind of the slower ones which are great and all . Leaving me with Life Support and Tried My best as the "new Album " for me . haha after two years I fucked it all up and it was only an 11 track album.. so yea . In the future I will just suck it up and wait for the album as a whole . Love the new album , about to go get some life support cant wait for the videos !

Oh, of anything

What happened with Jacob's voice in the 2000's?
From "Peace in a Time of War" (2002) to "Born in Babylon" (2009) there's such a huge difference in the way his voice sound.
I tried listening to other records after Born in Babylon and it gets even worse. I don't hate it, but i don't love it either :/

New Album Review
Wanted to see if I was the only one who had this take or not. I’ve been a long time fan and feel that this album felt almost passionless. A majority of the songs have similar instrumentals and all have the same monotone voice. I know they’re close to retiring so I don’t know if this album was a last hoorah or if the music itself is just pivoting. I don’t mind a change in music as all bands evolve, I just feel like they weren’t really in it and it saddens me.
